The Damage Done by Sudan's Cease Fire with 16,000 Americans Present | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A 3 day cease fire has begun in Sudan. Several countries, including the United States, have removed diplomatic personnel from the African nation. British and Irish citizens arrived late on Monday in an airport on the horn of Africa, but thousands of others remain in Sudan. More than 400 people have been killed in the fighting, with around 3,000 others wounded. The truce comes after 48 hours of negotiations. The situation in Sudan is being described as unpredictable and volatile and now the World Health Organization is saying there is huge biological risk as one of the warring sides has occupied a laboratory that contains samples of diseases like measles. President of the Global Situation Room, Brett Bruen, joins to share what we are looking at and how potentially dangerous this could get. US Special Forces helped to evacuate the US Embassy over the weekend and bring diplomats home, but there are still about 16,000 US citizens in Sudan, many dual nationals. Bruen tells us about them and what is being done to get them to safety. Many are drawing parallels between this evacuation and what happened in Afghanistan. Bruen discusses whether he thinks that comparison is fair. Other countries like France have pulled their citizens out of Sudan. Bruen explains why he thinks the US is not doing the same. He fills us in on what else he is following. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
