Embassy Personnel Evacuated as Violence Erupts in Sudan

The US military has evacuated embassy personnel from Sudan after President Joe Biden ordered the evacuation following a recommendation from his national security team. The evacuation order was believed to apply to about 70 US nationals. More than 150 people from various nations reached the safety of Saudi Arabia on Saturday in the first announced evacuation of civilians from Sudan, where fighting between the army and paramilitaries entered a second week following a brief lull.
