Middle East Eye has revealed that Egypt and Saudi Arabia are pressuring Khalifa Haftar to halt Emirati supplies to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan, specifically in the border region between Egypt, Libya, and Sudan. Egyptian sources told the website that Haftar's son Saddam received a stern reprimand during his recent visit to Cairo and was asked to immediately end support for the RSF. They warned that continuing this support could lead to a dangerous shift in Cairo's relationship with Haftar. The website stated that the Egyptian side briefed Saddam on Emirati plans aimed at fragmenting Haftar's areas of control within Libya.
