Sudanese army accuses Haftar's forces of attacking its units at the border
The Sudanese army said that its border units located in the border triangle between Sudan, Egypt, and Libya were subjected to what it described as a 'surprise attack' by what it called the 'Dagalo terrorist militia,' supported by elements of the "Subul Al-Salam battalion (the Salafi Battalion) affiliated with Khalifa Haftar's forces in Libya."
The statement considered Haftar's direct intervention in the fighting alongside Rapid Support Forces (RSF) as a 'blatant violation against Sudan, its land, and its people,' indicating that the incident is part of what it described as an 'international and regional conspiracy' targeting the country.
The army added in its statement that it is confronting this escalation with the support of the Sudanese people, and that it 'will prevail no matter the extent of conspiracy and aggression,' accusing the United Arab Emirates of supporting such attacks through what it described as 'its militias in the region.'
These statements come at a time when the Darfur region and border areas are witnessing escalating military tensions, amid repeated accusations by the Sudanese army of Haftar's forces being involved in supporting the Rapid Support Forces led by Hemedti.

Tetteh discusses political stability in Libya with Haftar
Khalifa Haftar told the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General and Head of the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL), Hanna Tetteh, that he supports all initiatives that could open the door to a political solution in Libya, end the phase of division, and push the political process forward. Haftar received Tetteh and her accompanying delegation— which included her Deputy for Political Affairs, Stephanie Khoury, and several mission officials—at his office in the headquarters of his forces in Al-Rajma area of Benghazi on Tuesday. According to Haftar's media office on Facebook, the meeting discussed the latest developments in Libya's political crisis and reviewed the outcomes of the work of the advisory committee, which has submitted proposals and recommendations on several issues related to holding simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections. The office added that Haftar reaffirmed to the UN official his full support for all efforts aimed at creating the appropriate conditions for holding elections, in line with the Libyan people's aspirations for lasting stability. Meanwhile, Tetteh reiterated UNSMIL's commitment to continuing its work with all Libyan parties to achieve national consensus that would lead to a comprehensive solution. The meeting comes as part of the broader consultation process launched by the UN mission with various parties to gather input on the proposals developed by the advisory committee concerning unresolved disputes in the electoral framework and political process.

HoR discusses adopting 69-billion-dinar budget for Belgassim Haftar's reconstruction fund
Libya's House of Representatives (HoR) has started discussing a proposed budget of 69 billion dinars over three years—23 billion annually—for the 'Libya Development and Reconstruction Fund,' which is headed by Belgassim Haftar, the son of Khalifa Haftar. The HoR session, held on Monday, was marked by verbal clashes between MPs Ezzedine Qweirib and Issa Al-Araibi. Qweirib called for a review of expenditures and better coordination with construction companies, while Al-Araibi denounced the criticism as obstructive 'grandstanding' in the face of what he described as the unstoppable 'reconstruction train.' MP Ali Bouzreiba also criticized the budget proposal, calling it vague and lacking in clarity. Following the heated exchanges, the live broadcast of the session was cut off. Later, the spokesperson for the House, Abdullah Bliheq, announced that the parliament had agreed in principle to draft the budget for the Reconstruction Fund, but requested clarifications and noted the importance of incorporating MPs' observations. Bliheq added that a parliamentary committee—with one representative from each electoral district—would be formed to meet with the fund's administration to ensure transparency in how the budget would be distributed across Libya's regions. He also noted the formation of a technical committee to study the Libya-Turkey agreement submitted by the parallel government in eastern Libya.
