Sudanese army accuses Haftar's forces of attacking its units at the border
The Sudanese army said that its border units located in the border triangle between Sudan, Egypt, and Libya were subjected to what it described as a 'surprise attack' by what it called the 'Dagalo terrorist militia,' supported by elements of the "Subul Al-Salam battalion (the Salafi Battalion) affiliated with Khalifa Haftar's forces in Libya." The statement considered Haftar's direct intervention in the fighting alongside Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as a 'blatant violation against Sudan, its land, and its people,' indicating that the incident is part of what it described as an 'international and regional conspiracy' targeting the country. The army added in its statement that it is confronting this escalation with the support of the Sudanese people, and that it 'will prevail no matter the extent of conspiracy and aggression,' accusing the United Arab Emirates of supporting such attacks through what it described as 'its militias in the region.' These statements come at a time when the Darfur region and border areas are witnessing escalating military tensions, amid repeated accusations by the Sudanese army of Haftar's forces being involved in supporting the Rapid Support Forces led by Hemedti.

Minister Abdelatty highlighted the deep-rooted historical and fraternal ties between Egypt and Sudan, reaffirming Egypt's unwavering support for Sudan's security, stability, unity, and territorial integrity. Abdelatty expressed Egypt's solidarity with Sudan during this critical time and reiterated the country's commitment to working with regional and international partners to help end the suffering of the Sudanese people. In response, Minister Siddiq expressed his sincere gratitude for the timely and thoughtful gesture, underscoring his appreciation for the strong bilateral relationship and Egypt's continued support for Sudan. Both ministers agreed to enhance communication and consultation in the coming period. Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, chairman of the Sudanese Sovereignty Council approved the appointment of Siddiq as the new Sudanese foreign minister after dismissing his predecessor Ali Youssif from this position on April 18, 2025. The reason behind Youssef's dismissal has not been announced yet. However, some media outlets said this came after his comments regarding an alleged prior agreement between the sudanese Army and the para-military Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to withdraw from parts in Sudan. Since the eruption of war between the Sudanese army and the RSF in April 2023, Egypt has advocated for an immediate and sustainable ceasefire to bring an end to the crisis, preventing further loss of innocent Sudanese lives and the destruction of property.
