Weapons continue to flow from Libya to Sudan despite Saudi and Egyptian pressure on Khalifa Haftar to stop Emirati military support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), Middle East Eye has learned.

Earlier this week, MEE reported that the eastern Libya commander is coming under growing pressure from Cairo and Riyadh, which have warned that continued assistance could trigger a serious shift in Egypt’s relationship with him.

Saddam Haftar, Khalifa’s son and deputy commander of his self-styled Libyan Arab Armed Forces (LAAF), was “summoned” to Cairo earlier this month for a dressing-down, during which he was told to immediately end support for RSF, according to Egyptian sources.
