According to security officials, Egypt has provided drones to the Sudanese military, potentially escalating a conflict that is increasingly involving multiple regional actors, as reported by the Wall Street Journal on Saturday.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Sudan’s military received a batch of drones last month.
Sudan’s military and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been engaged in a power struggle that escalated into violence on April 15, resulting in the loss of hundreds of lives.
Analysts say Egypt sending highly advanced drones to Sudanese army, which is fighting a losing battle on the ground against the RSF, will enflame a conflict that has displaced millions and push the country further into chaos.
Spokesmen for the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and the Sudanese military didn’t return requests for comment to the WSJ.
