Sudan and Libya have established in November 2013 a joint force to control
the borders between the two countries, stop illegal immigration and human
trafficking and secure trade caravans.

The Sudanese daily *Akhir Lahza* on Saturday quoted SAF spokesperson,
al-Sawarmi Khaled Saad as saying that no official decision has been made so
far to dissolve the Sudanese-Libyan joint border control force.

“However, the Libyan side is not currently represented in the [joint] force
due to unstable internal circumstances [in Libya]”, he stressed.

Saad underscored that Sudan continues to keep its troops inside its
territory on the borders with Libya, noting they didn’t dissolve their
troops which were part of the joint force.

The newspaper also quoted sources as saying that the Libyan city of Kufra
on the Sudanese borders is currently witnessing armed clashes between local
residents and armed groups comprised mainly of foreign fighters.

The same sources pointed out that the security situation has recently
deteriorated following withdrawal of the Libyan troops from the joint
border patrol force.

Since August 2014, Libya has two governments and parliaments since Tripoli
was seized in a coalition of Islamist groups while the internationally
recognized government is based in Tobruk. Qatar, Sudan and Turkey are
accused of supporting this alliance.

There are also Jihadists groups linked to the extremists of The Islamic
State based the eastern city of Derna.
