The United States is providing information and a level of airborne defence assistance to allow Americans who wish to join overland convoys to leave Sudan the option of doing so, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Monday.
Mr Sullivan, who addressed reporters at the White House daily press briefing, said President Joe Biden has ordered “ISR assets” — meaning intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities — to monitor overland evacuation routes from the Sudanese capital Khartoum to the country’s largest seaport, Port Sudan.
