Investigative sources and information obtained by the “Naba Sudan” platform disclosed that Sudanese intelligence and diplomatic services achieved a significant breakthrough in early 2026 by neutralizing and halting the main military supply route used to support the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) via the Libyan border.
According to the report, this route had witnessed heavy inflows of military supplies since the outbreak of the conflict in April 2023, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) establishing an air bridge through eastern Libyan airports. The operation included the rehabilitation of landing strips for transporting weapons, equipment, and mercenaries, peaking in 2024 with the establishment of several training and mobilization camps.
The investigation states that Sudan’s success in disrupting this logistical lifeline relied on two main tracks:
Intelligence and surveillance escalation: Sudanese drones maintained comprehensive monitoring across land borders, carrying out precise tracking and immediate strikes on supply convoys and cargo aircraft upon landing at airstrips.
Diplomatic pressure: Sudanese diplomacy, according to the sources, succeeded in highlighting the implications of foreign intervention, prompting the Republic of Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to take sovereign decisions restricting overflight permissions for supply flights. This significantly increased flight durations and operational costs, effectively reducing the viability of the air corridor.
Field indicators of this disruption have reportedly begun to emerge in recent weeks, including the disappearance of certain cargo aircraft from airspace activity, particularly those registered in Kyrgyzstan. Satellite imagery dated March 3, 2026, showed three Ilyushin cargo aircraft stationed idle at Benghazi Airport, remaining grounded since January.
Amid this tightened logistical pressure and the closure of the usual air routes via Egyptian and Saudi airspace, supply efforts have shifted toward alternative airports in the Horn of Africa, particularly Assosa and Bahir Dar airports in Ethiopia, in an attempt to compensate for the disrupted eastern Libyan corridor.
