There are around 70 Americans at the embassy in Sudan\u2019s capital. There are also an estimated 16,000 private U.S. citizens currently in the country, but the State Department said that number is likely inaccurate since it only includes Americans who registered with the embassy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thousands of people have already fled the capital city, and Japan and Tanzania have also said they are working on getting their embassy personnel out of Sudan. The Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces agreed to a humanitarian ceasefire on Tuesday, but the agreement failed as fighting broke out within minutes of the supposed agreement, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-africa-65325382\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according<\/a> to the BBC. Another ceasefire was agreed upon on Wednesday, but gunfire could still be heard throughout the city.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mohammed Alamin, a journalist based in Khartoum, told the BBC, \u201cIt\u2019s really horrible \u2014 these warring parties are firing randomly everywhere.
