The U.S. Embassy has received no reports overnight of additional violent encounters, following a day of reported violence on October 25, 2021. Americans are still strongly advised to shelter in place to the extent possible. The Embassy has learned that two charter flights left Khartoum International Airport following the mass cancellation of commercial flights on October 25. As of this posting, no commercial flights have departed since the onset of yesterday’s events and most commercial carriers have announced their services are cancelled until further notice. American Citizens are advised not to go to the airport. When commercial flights are confirmed to be departing, an alert will be released.
