US set to send additional troops to Djibouti in case of Sudan evacuation
The United States is preparing to send a large number of additional troops to it’s base in Djibouti in case of an eventual evacuation from Sudan, a US official said on Thursday.
The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, declined to elaborate.
Forces commanded by two previously allied leaders of Sudan’s ruling council began a violent power struggle last weekend that has so far killed more than 330 people, tipping a nation reliant on food aid into what the United Nations calls a humanitarian catastrophe.
