The Libyan army has accused the Sudanese government of supporting the Libyan faction of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and giving weapons and land to them.
The Libyan army spokesman Captain Mohammed Higazi told Egyptian state television that Turkey and Qatar were sending the weapons to the Libyan Islamists through Sudanese territory.

He further claimed that Sudan has opened many military training camps in its territory to train the ISIS fighters.

The captain also accused Khartoum of supporting terrorism throughout Africa such as Boko Haram and the Somali Jihadists, Al Shabab.

“We know very well and have many hard evidences that Turkey and Qatar are sending weapons to the terrorists through Sudan,� the spokesman alleged.

“Sudan has opened some military camps in its territory specifically in White Nile state in the southern part of the country,� he stressed.

“We are going to defend ourselves by all means, our military is ready to defeat all these attempts to destabilize our country and we will also use all the other diplomatic ways to stop this foreign intervention in our domestic issues,� he added.

Libya has repeatedly accused Sudan and Qatar of supporting the Libyan Islamic militias. However, the Sudanese national army had denied the accusations.
