Civil war is raging in Sudan, and thousands of Americans have been trapped there.
But there’s good news for some of them: America’s Seal Team Six has engaged in a covert rescue.
Close to 100 U.S. embassy staffers and their families were saved, while many more American citizens await evacuation.
The U.S. is currently working to assist the thousands still trapped. The White House announced that the administration is actively facilitating the evacuation of those U.S. citizens.
However, Mark Levin wonders how the U.S. plans on evacuating U.S. citizens when there is no longer a U.S. embassy.
“So, you’re a citizen and you’re stuck in Sudan,” Levin comments. “Who do you contact? There’s no embassy. You just call 911? What do you do?”
“It’s like Afghanistan,” he continues. “We’re doing everything to get our citizens out, but you evacuated the embassy, so how are we getting our citizens out? You evacuated the military and the citizens are there — and they’re still there.”
“God knows what’s happening to them,” Levin says.
Not only did they evacuate trapped American citizens' only source of reprieve, but the government knew Sudan was not in a good place.
“I don’t know why we didn’t see this coming,” Levin adds.
“Sudan has been at dagger points” with plenty of “opposition to the government for a long, long, time.”
Levin calls the government there “very corrupt, very brutal.”
“So, we have a big problem. And the problem is the Biden administration.”

Fighting has broken out across Sudan, and it’s not looking good for the American citizens who are currently trapped in the line of fire.
According to the WHO, at least 459 people have been killed, and more than 4,000 have been injured in the unrest.
16,000 Americans are there, and the Biden administration is refusing to evacuate them.
Pat Gray says that according to a “former CIA official,” this is because “Biden screwed up so badly in Afghanistan.”
Gray’s co-host, Keith Malinak, mentions that there’s a bioweapons facility in Sudan, and Dr. Fauci, the CDC, and the Department of Defense were all a part of funding the research going on in it.
“I guess the question is: Are we going to go to war there to hide that fact the way we went to Ukraine to hide that fact? I mean seriously, can we get out of every country please?” Malinak asks.
“This is just such an inept government right now,” Gray confirms, adding, “man do we need a change, and it’s got to come — it’s gotta’ come in 2024.”
And it might.
According to the latest GOP primary poll for the Republican nomination, Trump is dominating his opponents with 53% support.
DeSantis is 32 percentage points behind at 21%.
Gray and Malinak joke that anyone running for the Republican nomination is better than Biden.
“Except Liz Cheney,” Gray says.
“I’m not endorsing her by saying [she's] better than Joe Biden — I could say that the gum that I stepped in yesterday out here in the parking lot is better than Joe Biden, but no one polled it. See, you’re not including that. They didn’t include the gum on my shoe,” Malinak says.
“Not a joke,” Gray adds.

The World Health Organization is sounding the alarm over a "high risk of biological hazard" after one of two warring factions in Sudan captured a laboratory containing deadly viruses.
WHO spokesman Nima Saeed Abid told reporters in Geneva Tuesday that technicians were unable to access the lab in Khartoum and properly secure the pathogens, reported Reuters.
The lab is reportedly located near the center of the city, close to Khartoum's primary airport.
Among the various hazardous materials stored on-site are the pathogens the cause measles, polio, and cholera.
"This is the main concern: no accessibility to the lab technicians to go to the lab and safely contain the biological material and substances available," said Abid.
It is presently unclear which faction captured the laboratory.
In August 2019, the authoritarian President Omar al-Bashir was overthrown and arrested after lording over the nation for roughly 30 years. Afterward, the military and civilians shared power in an uneasy alliance.
However, in October 2021, Sudan's military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) dissolved the power-sharing government.
CNN reported that Sudan’s top general, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, was behind the military takeover.
There were plans for both the army and the RSF to cede power, but this was evidently not to be.
On April 15, fighting broke out, with both sides seeking to exploit the power vacuum in Khartoum.
Opposite al-Burhan is RSF leader General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, commonly known as Hemedti.
Whereas the army boasts superior resources and air power, the RSF has marshaled roughly 100,000 fighters across the country, reported Reuters.
According to the WHO, the violence between the two forces has already left 459 dead and 4,072 injured.
Although it is presently unclear whether either force will reign victorious over the country of 46 million souls, whoever comes out on top may have to contend with homegrown biological warfare.
WHO spokesman Nima Saeed Abid said that Sudanese fighters "kicked out all the technicians from the lab … which is completely under the control of one of the fighting parties as a military base."
The result, according to Abid, is an "extremely, extremely dangerous" situation.
Politico indicated that that the lab takeover took place one day before the 72-hour ceasefire between the army and the RSF, announced by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, went into effect.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan indicated in a Monday White House press briefing that the U.S. was "actively facilitating the departure of American citizens who want to leave Sudan" and had "deployed U.S. intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets to support land evacuation routes, which Americans are using."
The Associated Press reported that there are roughly 16,000 private U.S. citizens registered with the embassy as being in Sudan.
