US deploys 'additional capabilities' near Sudan embassy for potential evacuation.

The US military is deploying "additional capabilities" near Sudan to secure the US embassy in the country and assist with a potential evacuation, if the situation calls for it. President Joe Biden has authorized the military to move forward with pre-positioning forces and to develop options in case there's a need for an evacuation. The situation on the ground in Sudan has rapidly deteriorated as the Sudanese Armed Forces clash with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
