Role of US troops in Sudan to shift as Biden administration sees no quick end to fighting

The Defense Department’s help in evacuating U.S. citizens from Sudan is set to shift as the State Department’s mission there changes, Pentagon deputy spokesperson Sabrina Singh said Thursday.
“We will make decisions about how and when to move U.S. forces when the conditions are right to do so,” Singh told reporters. She declined to say what changes were coming.
Singh added that the U.S. military is still prepared to offer support in the country if asked.
American troops, through U.S. Africa Command, have been helping U.S. citizens and others escape Sudan amid fighting between warring military factions in the country known as the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
