The Libyan Center for Studies and Policy Drawing said that the war in Sudan will increase the causes of apathy between Khalifa Haftar and Egypt, as a result of their support for one party hostile to the other.
In a report, the center stated that Khalifa Haftar leans towards the side of the Rapid Support Forces (Janjaweed), which is led by Mohamed Daglo “Hemedti,” while Egypt supports the Sudanese army led by General “Abdel-Fattah Al-Burhan.”
The center added that the divergence of positions between Egypt and Haftar regarding the Sudanese crisis is due to the latter’s efforts to pressure the Egyptian regime to return to its absolute support on the Libyan scene, following this support declined during the last period.
The center added that Haftar may wish, through his support for the “Hamedti” forces, to transform from a local force into a regional player by exploiting his military influence and the area he controls.
The center pointed to the overlapping relationship and benefits between Haftar and “Hamedti” in terms of economic benefit from the smuggling lines between Libya and Sudan, or through the recruitment of mercenaries, which effectively contributed to achieving progress for Haftar’s forces in his previous wars.
The center added that although Haftar is present in the scene of the conflict in Sudan, he does not have the ability to influence the direction of the conflict in it.
The center indicated that the continuation and prolongation of the war in Sudan will seriously affect Libya, especially when the size of the interfering countries increases, which will fuel the conflict in Sudan.
The center pointed out that the Libyan south might be an arena for moving the Sudanese conflict, and a point of gathering and launching towards the Sudanese depth, given that Libya is a soft region and the closest to there.
Since April 15, a number of Sudanese states have witnessed large-scale clashes between the army, led by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and the Rapid Support Forces, the Janjaweed, led by Muhammad Dagalo, Hamidati.
