U.S. special operations teams rapidly evacuated all U.S. Embassy staff from Sudan's capital, Khartoum, Saturday, flying them out by helicopter at night to a military base in Djibouti. All 70 staffers were reported safe.
About 100 members of the U.S. Navy's SEAL Team Six and the Army's 3rd Special Forces Group led the evacuation. Diplomatic staffers boarded three MH-47 Chinook helicopters in a landing zone inside the embassy and were flown out of the country.
In a briefing, the operation was described as "fast and clean" by Lt. General D.A. Sims, director of operations for Joint Staff J3, who said teams were in the embassy compound for less than an hour.
