Sudan conflict prompts US embassy evacuation.

A conflict between two rival generals in Sudan has escalated, causing a growing humanitarian crisis and forcing foreign nations to evacuate their embassies. The fighting is between Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, who leads the Sudanese military, and Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo, who leads the Rapid Support Forces. Caught in between are millions of civilians who have made their support for a democratic government clear. The conflict erupted as the nation was poised to transition fully to democratic power, presenting a threat to military forces whose own power would have been diluted. The US has evacuated its embassy in Khartoum, prompting other nations to follow suit.
