Overview

  • Army spokesman Nabil Abdallah said forces loyal to Libya’s Khalifa Haftar and the RSF attacked Sudanese border posts in the Libya-Egypt-Sudan triangle north of el-Fasher.
  • Sudan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs described the raid as a “flagrant violation of international law” and accused the United Arab Emirates of funding the operation.
  • A source within the RSF reported its fighters secured the entrance to Jebel Uweinat, the remote mountain pass where Libya, Egypt and Sudan converge.
  • Khartoum has previously accused Haftar of supplying weapons to the RSF and the UAE of conducting drone strikes in support of paramilitary forces.
  • Sudanese officials warn that direct Libyan involvement risks deepening the civil war and worsening a humanitarian crisis that has already displaced millions.
