Are you serious? After you sent people to Port Sudan you are now telling them to go back, 800km, to a base near Khartoum (and near the fighting’s epicenter) with just hours to go before ceasefire ends?

Some people can’t escape the war in Sudan because Western nations have their passports locked up in embassies they already evacuated
Quote Tweet
Replying to @wasilalitaha and @irmavandueren
Dear Wasila, we deeply regret the current situation you're in. We were forced to close the embassy and evacuate our staff. Unfortunately, this means we can't get to your passport. We advise to apply for a new passport with your local authorities.

Remarkable that Fox viewers will not be told they were lied to on air.
Quote Tweet
News: I'm told that, as part of the terms of its settlement, Fox News will *not* have to acknowledge ON AIR that it told lies about Dominion in the wake of the 2020 election. Fox did acknowledge falsehoods in its statement. But don't expect hosts to have to read statements.
