A senior figure in Sudan’s pro-RSF Founding Alliance, Hafiz Ibrahim Abdel Nabi, hailed the Rapid Support Forces’ (RSF) capture of the border triangle with Libya and Egypt as a key step toward dismantling what he called General al-Burhan’s “terrorist army” and its allied militias.
In comments to local media, Abdel Nabi — also Sudan’s former minister of livestock — said the takeover of the strategic area marked a turning point in the RSF’s campaign, tightening pressure on what he described as the “criminal Port Sudan alliance.”
He highlighted the triangle’s economic and logistical significance, calling it a vital artery for General al-Burhan’s army (SAF) and Islamist factions. “This area has long served as the backbone of the enemy’s supply chain,” he said.
Abdel Nabi congratulated RSF fighters and allied units for what he called a “crushing victory” and said control of the border zone would limit the movement of armed groups and human trafficking operations.
“The triangle is a key gateway exploited by terrorist networks,” he said. “By securing it, we’ve cut off critical routes and can now target remaining strongholds in the Northern and Red Sea states.”
The RSF announced earlier this week that it had taken full control of the triangle, escalating the conflict with the SAF as Sudan’s civil war grinds into its second year.
