Be honest we got our embassy stuff out in overnight cycles French weren't so lucky
A French national has been reported shot trying to evacuate from Sudan as fighting continues to rage in the capital Khartoum, despite a promised ceasefire.
The Sudanese military alleged that the rival Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, had opened fire on a French convoy during its evacuation, wounding a French national. In response, the RSF claimed it came under attack by military aircraft as French citizens and diplomats made their way to Omdurman after evacuating the embassy. It said the military’s strikes “endangered the lives of French nationals, injuring one of them.”
The French Foreign Ministry declined to comment on the details of the rescue operation or the reported shooting for security reasons, but said the evacuation was continuing as planned.
