Leaving Americans behind enemy lines has become the new normal.
"It is not our standard procedure to evacuate American citizens living abroad," White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said on Friday.
US officials have said they are in "Close communication" with US citizens and "Actively facilitating" their departure from Sudan.
Exhausted and terrified, Americans and other foreign nationals have been struggling to escape the fighting in Sudan, cramming into crowded port terminals, squeezing onto filthy buses and begging strangers for a ride to an airport in a desperate bid to reach safety.
By contrast, Britain, France and Germany have sent airplanes to Sudan to help evacuate their citizens, and other countries, such as India, have organized convoys to Port Sudan on the Red Sea.
A few Americans have made it onto flights run by European allies out of an airfield 13 miles north of Khartoum.
That means abandoning Americans while leaving it to the French to evacuate them.
