A remote airstrip in southeastern Libya has reshaped Sudan’s civil war by providing a lifeline to the Rapid Support Forces paramilitary group, according to more than a dozen military, intelligence and diplomatic officials. The paramilitary group – which grew from the “Janjaweed” militia mobilised two decades ago by Sudan’s government to subdue its western Darfur province – has been fighting the Sudanese army since April 2023 when the two sides fell out over how to integrate their forces.Military supplies sent via the airstrip in Kufrah, about 300 km from Sudan’s border, helped the RSF revive its fortunes after the Sudanese army retook the capital Khartoum in March. Do you think that Udan is fighting western dominance in the region ?
