The Anadolu News Agency confirmed that Sudanese mercenaries, used by Haftar in his aggression against Tripoli, are undergoing intensive military training for a three-month period in the Ghayathi region of the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The Turkish news agency added in a report, prepared on the basis of a survey of thousands of images and their compliance with satellite maps, that the mercenaries are then deployed to Benghazi, Sirte, Ras Lanuf and the Al-Jafra base.

It also noted that Haftar used Sudanese mercenaries in his military operations, having recruited them into his militias with false promises.
