The U.S. military has evacuated U.S. Embassy personnel and their families from Sudan, President Biden announced late Saturday, as the fighting in the capital Khartoum and other cities across the country entered its second week.
The big picture: Despite several attempts at a temporary cease-fire over the last few days, fighting between the Sudanese military, led by Gen. Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), headed by Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo — known as Hemedti — has continued largely unabated.
