Libya · Day 2Mohamed Younis MenfiThe ongoing armed conflict in the Sudan, our brotherly neighbor, has made its people the victims of a devastating war for which they are paying a hefty price.
In that war, interests and interventions collide, and its effects extend beyond the borders of Sudan, endangering the security and stability of the region and the unity of its states.
The instability in the Sahel region represents an existential threat to the integrity of states.
