Libyan and Egyptian forces support opposing sides in Sudan conflict.

A Libyan militia leader and the Egyptian military have sent military support to rival generals fighting for control of Sudan, according to sources. Khalifa Haftar, the commander of a faction that controls eastern Libya, sent at least one plane to fly military supplies to Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, while Egypt sent warplanes and pilots to back the Sudanese military. The involvement of regional powers highlights the potential for the conflict to escalate.
