22/6/2024: Sudan Tribune -Sudanese rival factions clash in Libya 

Sudan Tribune report that violent clashes occurred in Libyan territory between the Sudan Liberation Movement/Army led by Minni Minawi (SLM/A-MM) and defectors from the Revolutionary Awakening Council (RAC) loyal to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by General Mohamed Bakhit Ajab Al-Dor.

UN reports indicate that thousands of Sudanese fighters are present in various Libyan cities, operating within the forces of retired Libyan Major General Khalifa Haftar.  However, after the outbreak of war in Sudan in mid-April 2023, some military groups began withdrawing into Sudanese territory to support the warring parties.

Al-Dor’s began withdrawing from Libya last week, heading to Sudan to support the RSF in Al-Fashir.

RSF field commander Ali Rizq Allah, known as “Al-Savanna,” claimed that their forces control the tri-border area linking Sudan, Libya, and Chad.
