According to informed Sudanese military sources, the Sudanese army has destroyed a camp belonging to the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on the Sudanese-Libyan border, using warplanes.
Military sources also reported clashes on the main road linking the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, and Al-Jazira State.
On Monday, the Sudanese army announced that the RSF had taken control of the Central Reserve Bank headquarters. This belonged to the Sudanese police in southern Khartoum, after three days of fighting.
On Sunday, the RSF announced that it had seized the headquarters, along with several vehicles, weapons, and ammunition, after fierce battles with the Sudanese army.
The army stated in a statement: “In clear violation of international law and the customs of war, the rebel militias seized a Sudanese police facility, after attacking it for three consecutive days.”
“Police facilities around the world are considered service facilities, which have no relation to military operations.”
Notably, the events in Sudan have led to an increase in the prices of sacrificial animals in Libya, according to the Spokesman for the Municipality of Kufra, Abdullah Suleiman.
Suleiman stated in a press release that the prices of sacrificial animals range from LD 800-1800, and that Kufra “has not received any imported animals through Libyan ports, and most cities in Libya have not received any imported animals either.”
He added that imported animals “are only available in cities that have ports, and that Kufra has been affected by the conflict in Sudan, which is a major source of sacrificial animals along with Chad.”
The high demand for sacrificial animals during the Islamic festival of Eid Al-Adha, which is celebrated by Muslims worldwide, usually leads to an increase in prices. However, the situation in Sudan has exacerbated the issue, making it more difficult for Libyan consumers to purchase at affordable prices.
