Al-Wefaq government demands Khartoum withdraw Sudanese mercenaries from the fighting fronts in Libya

Member of the Presidential Council of the Libyan National Accord Government, Mohamed Ammari Zayed, confirmed that the government is still awaiting clarification from the Sudanese Sovereignty Council regarding the presence of what he described as Sudanese mercenaries within the ranks of retired Major General Khalifa Hifter attacking the capital, although the Sudanese Sovereign Council earlier denied the presence of Sudanese forces in Libya .

In private press statements on the island, Amari called on the Sudanese Sovereignty Council and the Sudanese government to withdraw the Sudanese mercenaries immediately, and stated that if these Sudanese militias continue to participate in the attack on Tripoli, their militants will be sent back to their country in coffins.

Amari said that the Sudanese death toll is great after the clashes that took place in the Ain Zara axis south of Tripoli yesterday, and confirmed that investigations with the prisoners from the Sudanese Janjawid mercenaries confirm what the Al-Wefaq government has always announced about the composition of the Haftar militia forces and the UAE's involvement in sending Sudanese mercenaries to the battle fronts.

The forces of the Libyan National Accord government announced yesterday, Thursday, the killing of 24 Sudanese militants from the Janjaweed factions of Haftar in armed clashes with the forces of the government of reconciliation, and the families of two of the same factions, one of whom confirmed that he was a Sudanese from the Darfur region.

These developments came with renewed clashes in the Ain Zara axis, south of Tripoli, between the forces of the National Accord Government and the forces of retired Major General Khalifa Hifter, which were clashes in which heavy and medium weapons were used.

A military source from the Al-Wefaq government forces said that the current clashes are the completion of a military plan aimed at removing Haftar forces from the residential neighborhoods of Ain Zara after they violated the declared truce by targeting civilians.

The source added to the Al-Jazeera correspondent in Libya that the death toll of Haftar's forces exceeded twenty during the two days of clashes, most of them were African mercenaries.
