Sudan Army Retreats from Libya Border After Alleged Attack
The Sudanese army, which is fighting its own internal war, has retreated from a border area where Sudan, Libya, and Egypt meet.
They claim that forces from Libya, led by a commander named Haftar, attacked them and are helping the other side in Sudan's war by sending weapons.
The army had soldiers, including former rebels, guarding this border area.
The army says they pulled back from the border after the attack and because of the weapons deliveries, but the other side has not responded to these accusations.
The Sudanese army retreated from the Libya-Egypt-Sudan border triangle area.
This retreat happened after the army accused Khalifa Haftar's forces of an attack.
The attack allegedly occurred alongside the Rapid Support Forces.
Sudanese soldiers, including former rebels, had been patrolling the area.
The army accuses Haftar's forces of using the corridor for weapons deliveries.
