US Report Reveals Mutual Support Between Haftar's Forces and Sudan's Rapid Support Forces with UAE Mediation

A report released on Thursday by the US organization "The Sentry" reveals that Marshal Khalifa Haftar's forces in eastern Libya are providing fuel to the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces. This arrangement reflects a mutual relationship underpinned by continuous support from the United Arab Emirates since 2014.

The report emphasizes that these fuel supplies demonstrate Haftar's strong commitment to the UAE government, described in the report as "the key player" in backing his military and political agenda in Libya.

According to the findings, the fuel sent to Sudan is utilized in the tactical operations of the Rapid Support Forces, particularly in conflict-affected regions like Darfur following the fall of the city of El Fasher.

The organization has not received an official response from the UAE or the Rapid Support Forces regarding these allegations, raising international concerns about the nature of regional interventions in the Sudanese conflict and Haftar's role in exacerbating tensions across borders.

This report is part of a broader investigation by "The Sentry" into smuggling and illicit financing networks in conflict zones, shedding light on the intersection of military and political interests in Libya and Sudan.
