Libya accused of attacking Sudanese border posts
The Sudanese army has accused eastern Libya’s leader Khalifa Haftar of attacking border posts in what could be a major escalation in the conflict.
According to Al-Jazeera on 10th June, this is the first time the Sudanese army has accused it’s northern neighbour of being directly involved in the war, though Haftar was claimed to have facilitated arms shipments to the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since the beginning of the war.
The current civil war in Sudan broke out in 2023, as two rival factions – the Sudanese Armed Forces and the RSF – turned to force in their bid for control over the country.
