Sudanese diplomatic relations advisor Abdel Moneim Abdullah Bashir Hamed told our source today, Tuesday, that the bilateral relations between the two countries, Libya and Sudan, are considered stable to this day, especially the current crisis that does not affect the economic relations between the two countries. Rather, there is talk from the government of the Darfur region, which has borders with Libya, that cooperation agreements will be signed quickly in order to facilitate the process of the flow of commodities and food products to the Darfur region in light of the difficult conditions in Sudan and the exorbitant rise in the remaining foodstuffs and medicines.

Hamed added that this agreement, if signed, will contribute and revive the economy between the two countries. It also enhances the strength of relations between the two countries, and “we hope that Libya will open an air bridge with Khartoum in light of the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Sudan.”
