Trapped Americans In Sudan “Shocked & Disgusted” – Left By Biden To Fend For Themselves   BY TYLER DURDEN

“… It’s funny how the United States can invade countries at drop of a hat.. but rescue citizens? Apparently not. A prime question which remains concerning many of those among the 16,000 Americans (many of them dual nationals no doubt) is: where’s Joe Biden?”

FRIDAY, APR 28, 2023 – 10:02 PM – Update(1302ET)Sudan is continuing to stare into the abyss of full-blown civil war as the battle for control of the capital of Khartoum between two rival generals – now reaching the two week mark – results in a mounting death toll. Currently, dozens of countries have for days been racing to get their citizens out via military transport planes, ships, and via cross-border land routes into Ethiopia and neighboring countries, but not the United States.

A surprisingly blunt report voicing intense criticism toward the Biden administration has been issued by CNN Friday, which writes, “As the crisis in Sudan continues to unfold, there is mounting anger among Americans who feel abandoned by the US government and left to navigate the complicated and dangerous situation on their own.”

CNN further points out that robust evacuation efforts are underway by many other countries. As we detailed below, a C-130 evac flight sent by Turkey even took on small arms fire while landing outside the capital. And the Chinese government has said it has successfully evacuated at least 1,300 of its nationals thus far, with state media confirming evacuation operations ongoing by “land and sea”.

“I am incredibly shocked and disgusted by the American lackluster response to the health and safety of their citizens,” Muna Daoud told CNN, whose parents were forced to exit via Port Sudan to Saudi Arabia. And CNN follows with this:

Despite a number of nations evacuating their citizens, the US government has continued to say that the conditions are not conducive to a civilian evacuation. All US government personnel were evacuated in a military operation this weekend. US officials have said they are in “close communication” with US citizens and “actively facilitating” their departure from Sudan.

However, CNN spoke with multiple people whose family members are among the “dozens” of Americans who want to leave Sudan, and they said the State Department has provided “barely any assistance” since the deadly violence between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) broke out more than a week ago.

Another American stuck in Sudan called the embassy and State Department “useless”. “To be honest with you, the State Department was useless, utterly useless throughout this entire period,” a man named Imad said in an interview. “We expected the Department to provide some kind of guidance, but the guidance was the template, just shelter in place, no critical information being provided.”

 

U.S. FINALLY starts evacuating citizens from Sudan: Buses carrying 300 Americans leave war-torn Khartoum over land as Biden administration faces questions of why it’s taken so long to help get the trapped out   By ROB CRILLY

  • A convoy left Khartoum late Friday on a 525-mile journey to the Red Sea coast
  • Armed drones reportedly monitored its progress through war-torn Sudan
  • The country has been hit by fierce fighting as two rival generals vie for power

Buses carrying about 300 Americans left the war-torn capital of Sudan late Friday, after Washington came under intense pressure to explain why other countries had rescued their nationals but thousands of U.S. citizens remained without help.

It came as Khartoum continued to rock with the sound of explosions despite a tentative ceasefire, and foreign leaders tried to broker a fresh truce.

The U.S. convoy reportedly set off late Friday on a 525-mile journey to the Red Sea.

It is following a route used by the United Nations and other nations since Sunday, and was monitored by armed drones flying overhead, according to the New York Times.

The effort was starting as other countries were winding down their rescue efforts.

The U.K. said it was ending its evacuation flights within the next 24 hours after a drop in demand.

[Ed.:  Why would the US government stand up and save their citizens?  (Think 10,000 of us stranded in Afghanistan…) All they do is try to kill us off and decimate our nation 24/7.  Our enemies should not be expected to save our lives, capiche? Note:  There was a time not that long ago, when the US passport meant that each citizen abroad was protected.  Imagine that.  Things have changed.]

 

3 Days After Announcing His 2024 Candidacy, Biden Gets Rocked by the Worst Poll of His Presidency   By George C. Upper Iii

April 28, 2023 – Public opinion pollster Gallup released its latest survey results regarding President Joe Biden’s job approval rating, and the results weren’t good for the sitting president.

The fact that the poll came out three days after the official announcement of his reelection bid must only have made matters worse for the White House.

According to Gallup, “Biden’s decision to seek a second term comes at the weakest point in his presidency,” with his overall approval sitting at only 37 percent.

That’s the lowest result Gallup has gotten for Biden’s approval since the beginning of his presidency, but even that wasn’t the worst news for a politician seeking a second term.

The president’s approval among independent voters was only 31 percent, which was tied for his lowest number since his inauguration.

[Ed.:  Run Joe, run!!]

 

RFK Jr: “I Will Prosecute Any Official Who Engaged in Criminal Wrongdoing During the Pandemic… Not Retribution, but Justice!”   By Jim Hoft

Apr. 28, 2023 – Last week, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced his run for President of the United States at the Boston Park Plaza in Boston, Massachusetts.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told the standing-room-only crowd, “I’ve come here today to announce my candidacy for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States.

“…My mission over the next 18 months of this campaign and over my throughout my presidency will be to end the corrupt merger of state and corporate power that is threatening now threatening now to impose a new kind of corporate feudalism on our country. To commoditize our children, our purple mountain’s majesty, to poison our children and our people with chemicals and pharmaceutical drugs. To strip mine our assets, to hollow out the middle class and keep us in a constant state of war.”  [Emphasis added]

Ed.:  Pretty good elocution for a Democrat, no?]

Conversation follows Chinese leader’s meetings with Putin, as Beijing seeks a greater role in peace efforts   By Austin Ramzy, WSJ  

April 26, 2023 2:56 pm ET – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had ‘a long and meaningful phone call’ with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, their first conversation since the Russian invasion more than a year ago, as Beijing attempts to portray itself as a potential peacemaker in the conflict.

China’s Foreign Ministry said it would send a special representative for Eurasian affairs to Ukraine and other countries “for in-depth communication with all parties on the political settlement of the Ukrainian crisis.”

Mr. Zelensky said the two leaders had discussed ways to work together toward a “just and sustainable peace” for Ukraine during the hourlong conversation. He insisted that any settlement with Moscow must be based on the restoration of Ukraine’s borders to their status in 1991. “There can be no peace that is based on territorial compromises,” he said, according to his office’s account of the call.

Before its full-scale invasion of Ukraine last year, Russia had annexed the Crimean Peninsula and taken control over a swath of territory in the east of the country in 2014.

Mr. Zelensky said the call, as well as the appointment of a Ukrainian ambassador to China on Wednesday, would help develop ties between the two countries.

[Ed.:  After sending all those billions of taxpayer dollars and military equipment, we find that the return on ‘investment’ is the strengthening of Ukrainian ties with the CCP.  Oh, NICE!]
