Sudanese Forces Withdraw from Libya Border Triangle

Sudanese Forces Withdraw from Libya Border Triangle

The Sudanese Armed Forces announced the withdrawal of their units from the “Triangle” border zone—where Sudan, Libya, and Egypt convergeو following recent armed clashes involving the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and suspected Libyan allies.

The decision marks a significant shift in control over a strategic frontier area that has become increasingly volatile amid Sudan’s ongoing internal war.

In an official statement on Wednesday, Sudan’s military described the move as a tactical evacuation made “to confront potential aggression,” while RSF forces claimed they had “liberated” the area and inflicted heavy losses on government forces.

Videos circulating on social media show RSF fighters in the Triangle zone, reinforcing their claim of territorial control.

The situation escalated earlier in the week when Sudan’s military accused Libyan National Army-linked forces, alongside RSF units, of attacking Sudanese border posts. While the Libyan National Army (LNA) denied involvement, it did report that one of its own patrols came under attack by unidentified armed groups in the area.

Local sources and Sudanese media reported that the clashes began last Friday after the LNA forces, specifically the Sobol al-Salam Brigade, allegedly entered Sudanese territory by roughly 3 km in the Jebel Uwaynat region.

The advance triggered a confrontation with Sudanese-aligned border troops. According to Darfur24, the fighting resulted in multiple casualties and the capture of one soldier from the joint force.

The Triangle zone, traditionally under Sudanese army control, has become a geopolitical hotspot. In recent months, authorities in eastern Libya, aligned with the LNA Commander Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, closed the border with Sudan amid growing concerns over trafficking, smuggling, and the movement of armed groups.

This incident follows broader allegations that Haftar has permitted the RSF to use airbases and logistics hubs in southeastern Libya. These facilities, reportedly used to supply fighters, fuel, and weapons, have deepened suspicions about a growing alliance between Libya’s eastern military leadership and Sudan’s paramilitary forces.

Sudan’s Foreign Ministry condemned the incursion as part of a “foreign aggression sponsored by the UAE,” referencing earlier reports that blamed Haftar’s forces for detaining civilians and blocking humanitarian routes from Sudan.
