US Military on High Alert for Sudan Embassy Evacuation

An American citizen has died in Sudan amid heavy fighting as the US military prepares for a possible evacuation of the embassy in Khartoum. The State Department has not provided details on the person's identity. The military is pre-positioning forces in Djibouti for contingency purposes. Americans in Sudan have been instructed to shelter in place, and it is still too unsafe to evacuate them from the country. The Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces are vying for power, and negotiations for a ceasefire have been mostly ineffective.
