27/9/19: Sudan Tribune - Sudan moves to close border with Libya and Central African Republic

 Sudan Tribune reports that Sudan’s Sovereign Council called for the immediate closure of borders with Libya and the Central African Republic, to avoid security and economic dangers.

 Sudan’s border with Libya and the Central African Republic has seen human and arms trafficking.

 Member and spokesman of the Sovereign Council Mohamed al-Faki told the Sudan Tribune that more than 100.000 vehicles had been illegally entered into the country in the past period, which poses a security threat to the country.

 Al Faki said that security agencies were directed to fight against drugs and resolve the security chaos by working jointly with the local South Darfur government to collect illicit arms.
