Share:Sudanese forces on Saturday seized a shipment of weapons from war-torn Libya, according to the country’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Our forces “deployed on the border strip between Sudan, Egypt, and Libya, managed to seize a shipment of weapons, ammunition, and explosives coming from the State of Libya,” the RSF said in a statement. According to the statement, four people, including two Libyans, have been arrested. RSF commander, Lieutenant-Colonel Ali Ahmed Mahmoud Awajeh, said RSF units were dispatched to the Saif al-Barli area on the border triangle after receiving intelligence information about the presence of arms-trading gangs in the area. The area is controlled by various armed tribes such as the Tabu and Tuareg who receive money, goods, and fuel in exchange for allowing smugglers a safe passage.
