The Sudanese army accuses Haftar of Libya in a joint border attack with RSF | Khalifa Haftar News

The announcement notes the first time it is alleged that the direct involvement of Libyans in Sudan's continued war is claimed.

The Sudanese army has accused the forces of Eastern Libyan military commander Khalifa Haftar in the attack on Sudanese border posts, for the first time accusing its northwestern neighbor in direct participation in the country's civil war, now its third year.

The war between the Sudanese Army and the Paradise Powers for Rapid Support (RSF), which the military has also accused of jointly involved in a recent attack, has attracted to many countries, while international attempts to achieve peace have so far failed.

At the beginning of the war, Sudan accused Haftar of supporting RSF by delivering weapons. He has long accused the ally of Haftar, which the United Arab Emirates also supports RSF, including through direct drone strikes last month. The UAE denies these claims.

Egypt, who also supports Haftar, has long supported the Sudanese army.

In a statement, the Sudanese army spokesman, Nabil Abdal, said the attack was carried out in the border triangle of Libya-Egypt-Sudan, an area north of one of the main front lines of the war, El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur.

He said the attack was a “screaming aggression against Sudan.”

“We will protect the country and our national sovereignty and prevail, regardless of the degree of conspiracy and aggression, supported by the United Arab Emirates and its militia in the region,” Abdalah added.

The Sudan Foreign Ministry has accused the UAE of supporting the attack, describing it as a “dangerous escalation” and a “gross violation of international law”.

“Sudan's border with Libya has long served as a major weapon corridor and mercenaries supporting the terrorist militia, funded by the UAE and coordinated by Haftar and related terrorist groups,” a statement said.

There was no immediate response from Haftar forces.

The RSF did not make an official statement, but a source within the group said its fighters had taken control on Monday from the entrance of Jebel Uzhenat, a remote mountain zone located where the three countries meet, according to the AFP news agency.
