Khartoum – Security authorities have monitored the movement of negative and destructive troops who sneaked into South Darfur from South Sudan via the Central African Republic, says Col. Al-Sawarmi Khalid Saad, the spokesperson of the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF).

Competent authorities are aware of the location and intention of these troops, and the security authorities in South Darfur have been instructed to deal decisively with these destructive troops to finish them off, Al-Sawarmi told SUNA.

 

These soldiers do not belong to the Ansar Al Din in Mali as claimed by the Darfur rebel movements. Islamic groups from Mali cannot enter Sudan via South Sudan. South Sudan is still holding six Sudanese areas from which it was supposed to unconditionally withdraw. 

Regarding South Sudan's military buildup along the border with Sudan, Al-Sawarmi said, "We have not monitored any threat to our security in Heglig and other areas apart from some movements in the area of Faryanq in Unity State (South Sudan)." He said SAF is closely monitoring the situation along the border, and South Sudan has neither the capacity nor the interest to wage war on Sudan.
