Sudan's RSF says seized border area with Egypt, Libya as army announces pullout
The Sudanese military said Wednesday it has withdrawn from a key area bordering Egypt and Libya, while the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) announced its takeover in a separate statement.
The announcements came a day after the army accused forces loyal to eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar of launching a cross-border attack alongside Sudanese paramilitaries, the first accusation of direct Libyan involvement in Sudan's war.
