10/11/19: Sudan Tribune – Sudan denies RSF’s participation in Libya’s armed conflict

 The Sudanese army has strongly denied a report by the UN Panel of Experts of the International Sanctions Committee on Libya  that alleged that the Rapid Support Forces are fighting in Libya alongside armed forces of commader Khalifa Haftar, against the forces of the UN-recognised government.

 The UN experts allege that Himedti dispatched 1,000 RSF fighters to Libya in July 2019, to enable Haftar’s forces to attack Tripoli.

 Sudanese Armed Forces spokesman Amer Mohamed al-Hassan said that the RSF are working according to international and UN conventions and that the Sudanese army is striving to enhance their capacities. He added that the Sudanese army is not a security company that engages in mercenary activity, as stated in the UN report, dismissing the allegations as rumours.
