On Monday, the Libyan Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister, Dr. Abdulhadi Al-Hwaij, held a meeting with the Sudanese Consul General, Abdulrahman Mohamed, in Benghazi.
During the discussions, the Libyan Minister emphasized the crucial need for stability in Sudan, not only for its own sake but also as a fundamental pillar for Libya’s security. The conversations brought to light the shared challenges and mutual interests in ending the hostilities that have plagued Sudan, highlighting the broader regional desire for peace and stability.
On his part, the Sudanese Consul General commended the General Command of the Libyan National Army (LNA), and the Parliament-Designated Government, for their humanitarian efforts supporting refugees that crosses the border into Libya recently due to the war in Sudan.
Libya has opened its borders to welcome those fleeing the violence in Sudan, providing refuge and support in a time of dire need.
Days ago, six members of the Sudanese community perished, with several more suffering from burns of varying severity, as they made their way toward Kufra, Libya.
Following orders from the Public Prosecution, a recovery team, composed of members from the Libyan Ambulance and Emergency Service in Kufra and the Illegal Immigration Combat Unit, traveled 240 kilometers into the desert south of Kufra to retrieve four bodies.
Additionally, a separate incident occurred on Saturday near Kufra, where a vehicle carrying a group of Sudanese refugees overturned and caught fire, resulting in the death of one woman and severe injuries to seven others. This incident, approximately 200 kilometers south of Kufra, necessitated the medical evacuation of some victims to Benghazi, further highlighting the risks refugees face on their journey to Libya.
The conflict in Sudan has created a significant displacement crisis, with many seeking refuge in neighboring countries.
