Michael Kurilla<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gilbert confirmed to Marine Corps Times that the deployment of the approximately 20 Marines \u201chas no direct connection to the ongoing situation in Sudan,\u201d where deadly fighting between the Sudanese military and a rival paramilitary force erupted in April, killing at least 500 and prompting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2023\/04\/26\/13-marine-security-guards-helped-in-sudan-embassy-evacuation\/\" target=\"_blank\">the evacuation of the U.S. embassy<\/a> by U.S. special operations forces.
