Tensions have resurfaced between Egypt and Libyan Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar at the end of 2025, stemming from Haftar’s clan’s involvement in the Sudanese conflict. Cairo alleges that Haftar, influenced by Abu Dhabi, is providing logistical support to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group, which is at war with the Sudanese army. Southern Libya has reportedly become a rear base, facilitating the transfer of weapons, fuel, and mercenaries through Darfur. Egypt, concerned about its southern and western borders, is actively engaging in diplomatic efforts to urge Haftar to reduce his support for the RSF. This situation highlights the complex regional dynamics and potential spillover effects of the Sudanese civil war.
