Sudan’s UN ambassador told the Security Council on Monday that a UN panel has documented how eastern Libya has become a key supply hub for the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia. Ambassador Al-Harith Idris said the panel’s evidence shows the renovation and expansion of Kufra Airport, along with a sharp rise in cargo flights, matching the militia’s growing military strength. He also named Chad and Ethiopia as additional supply routes for the RSF. The briefing highlights how foreign territory is fueling the conflict in Sudan, with the UN’s own experts tracking the flow of weapons and equipment into the militia’s hands.
