a military camp and central molly close to where 500 un peacekeepers are based. and i went down to the office because they are making the road from dead artists to living presidents, the alarming possibilities of voice learning, using artificial intelligence. ah, now the united states has conducted a military operation to evacuate its embassy staff from sudan. the army had agreed to help evacuate foreign nationals as gunfire. st. battles and ad strikes continue in the capital cartoon. earlier, 2 ships carrying staff from saudi arabia's embassy arrived back home. and jetta through ports. you don, also on board where diplomatic officials from other countries in the gulf cooperation council, the u. k. france and china, meanwhile,
6:02 am
are also arranging for their embassy staff and citizens to be evacuated as our iraq and jordan. shebra tansy has more now from washington, dc. for several days now, we've been told that contingency planning for an evacuation of u. s. government personnel from sudan was underway. they were high level calls between my committee, the joint chiefs and susan needs. officials as me blinking and sidney's officials about an evacuation of some sort more troops were being put into neighboring countries. and we were told on friday that the decision would be made by president biden. very soon we were also constantly told that was it would only be u. s. government officials who would be evacuated. not be some 16000 americans thought to be in saddam. there was some relatively testy defensive exchanges, both at the white house, out of the state department over the last few days, and by the ministration. officials kept saying that we've told american citizens
6:03 am
since the summer of 2021, that saddam was getting even more dangerous. and that they would be on that on the road. and actually that message came just a few just a week ago or so. nonetheless, i think what we'll see in the coming days is that shadow of the call bull evacuation, which still hangs over the by did ministration even when it came to be diplomatic plus. now we already sent questions off as to why it took so long, specifically because one of the lessons, the bite ministration said that they had learned from cobble was an early evacuation was key. we're going to see more questions about that in the coming days . i would imagine all fighting between 2 john's army and the rapid support forces as now into it's 2nd week several. he's 5 so failed including one during, in, correspondent him morgan reports from the sudanese capital the area around the presidential palace and the army headquarters. to me is the focus of intense
6:04 am
fighting. as the army and paramilitary group the rapids support forth this battle for control off to down. many of the cities, 6000000 residents are trapped in their homes. with power outages, a lack of running water and dwindling food supplies. they're angry that a 72 hours. he's fired for the muslim holiday of april, but hasn't held. i want to say to the both side. we are the civilians, we are paying the price. we not supposed to live in this situation. we have panicking. we are panicking. we are struggling. this is too much for us. both sides say they're aware of the impact on the, for the nice people. the commander of the rapids support forces says he's asked be un for help and has spoken to secretary general and tony with harris about the humanitarian truth safe passage of residents who want to leave and the protection of 8 workers. even though both sides agreed to 72 hours,
6:05 am
the fire people in part of hard to say the fighting on saturday was the words the scene and some say they've given up on talking up on basic goods and are waiting for a chance to leave i. it's not easy to get a clear picture of the situation. both sides accuse each other of bumping residential areas. the more exclusions were heard on saturday night. both sides seemed determined to fight on leaving millions of food, a nice fearing for their lives. keep morgan august 0 to me on lisa ali abraham as a niger in medical students studying in sudan. and he says he has been unable to leave the country since the fighting broke out. and our food is running short. yes . turned it in so then because the trouble is i can describe it. so it was on especially because we don't have it to be honest. there is no attach
6:06 am
a drink and we don't electricity. it's like 3 days now, the student being outside, being resty, they have to migrate from their private placement in to the student campus where they have access to some drinking water and food to eat. because outside the shows all close. if you have money, you cannot get access to food because there is no way there's no security. i was just coming out of the house where we sit, just kind of looking forward to doing all the closing they were closed. and then as i was trying to look for some people like to me and they took my funding, my money in the can you from the school compass? so to do most of the university around 550. that was a very, very good. i like a very loud to the extent,
6:07 am
like some of the students that's it from how try to run a hazard. not knowing what direction which direction they have into place. like that's a very scared to you because it is unexpected. at night in the morning, even in the afternoon. any time you been here, the front of whole as we've been saying, a foreign evacuations from students are currently underway. let's speak to susan page. she's a professor at michigan law school and also a former us ambassador to south student. she joins us now from ann arbor, michigan. susan, we've obviously had confirmation from president biden, just in the last half hour of the u. s. evacuation. i want to start with what we know. this was obviously a complicated mission and i knew the embassy earlier in the day that it was too dangerous to evacuated civilians. but they have managed to get their diplomats out as a former ambassador yourself just how risky was this? well, from what i understand, it was probably quite dangerous to be given that we were unsure from what i
6:08 am
understand. again, we were unsure who controls the airport in cartoon. and the airport had been actually at the center of a lot of the fighting along with nearby areas. so people were sheltering in their homes because it was actually just too dangerous to get out. so yeah, i think that no matter how many times evacuations occur, they're always situation by situation. and this was difficult with finding so near the airport. of course, i believe carrying the pandemic. and this, the embassy, they estimated there was something like, 19000 americans in the country. that's a huge number in terms of the scale of a potential, ongoing evacuation of citizen. so what does this mean for them, especially now that they don't even have any diplomatic support that right, well, generally speaking, all embassies in all countries, 1st and foremost, want to protect their citizens, their nationals, and their embassy property,
6:09 am
et cetera. but the citizens who live in a country when things go bad, they are advised to do the same things that official americans are advised to do, which is in this case with take shelter, stay as safe as possible, etc. but it's difficult to try to evacuate. people, and you also don't know how many people there are, where they are located, even though we do keep records. but it's only those who decide to register with the embassy and that is not everyone who's in country. and a lot of people, of course, are dual nationals. they may be partnered with sudanese, married to a sudanese, have family friends and may not actually want to leave despite the risk to their safety. so susan, you just said something that about priorities that the priority for many embassies and. 5 foreign powers is to make sure that their citizens and the different medic
6:10 am
stuff 1st and foremost to safe, which i completely understand. i wonder though, does the evacuation now that we're seeing a foreign nationals potentially change the level of perceived urgency of resolving this conflict? now for foreign policy, even if it's potentially it'll unacknowledged. so it's, it's always difficult if you actually evacuate everyone from a diplomatic mission, because that means you don't have official eyes on the ground and know what's happening. so that makes it difficult. i can only hope that given the complexity, given how large sudan is and the foreign powers that have interest, not all of which are the same. i don't think that people will lose interest or stop trying to help the parties, and especially the student needs civilian to resolve the conflict and get some
6:11 am
peace back in the country season. let me then ask you about the mediation effort. does this change anything, presumably, if some people are getting out some can get in and it's not clear that that is actually the case. i don't know. i obviously i don't work for the government anymore. as it's only been confirmed by the secretary blinking in the last 30 minutes, one hour, it's unclear exactly how the evacuation took place did. was the airport completely secured, but it's also the airspace and where plains are allowed to fly over and fly into and fly out. and oftentimes it's a special mission, in which case it is a very limited timeframe. that's what i'm expecting is the case in right now. he's in paid to the former us ambassador to south sudan. thank you so much for joining us here on out there. susan. really great to get your thoughts. thank you very much
