Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), backed by the Libyan National Army (LNA) led by Khalifa Haftar and supported by the United Arab Emirates, have seized control of a strategic border area known as the El-Uweinat Triangle, which lies at the intersection of Sudan, Libya, and Egypt. This development follows the withdrawal of Sudan's regular army, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), from the area after clashes with the RSF and LNA forces. The RSF's control over this key zone enables them to resupply arms and fighters from the west and has raised security concerns in Egypt due to the strengthened Libya-Sudan ties. The RSF has announced readiness to use their control of the border triangle to facilitate humanitarian aid delivery to the Darfur and Kordofan regions.

The Sudanese army has also reported regaining control of other areas, such as parts of Blue Nile state, amid ongoing heavy fighting in regions including West, South, and North Kordofan. The seizure of the border triangle by the RSF marks a new phase in the regionalization of Sudan's conflict, with fears of spillover effects across the Red Sea region. The conflict has also intensified political divisions within Sudan, with competing governments and accusations of lack of dialogue raising concerns about the country's future stability.
