During The 2026 Military Intelligence Chiefs’ Conference of Sahel and Mediterranean Countries held in Tripoli, Lieutenant General Mohamed Ali Ahmed, representing the Republic of Sudan, emphasized that joint coordination is an absolute necessity for confronting interconnected security threats. He highlighted that such forums serve as important platforms for consultation and intelligence cooperation to mitigate the fallout of ongoing crises.
Lieutenant General Ahmed extended the condolences of the Sudanese government and people to Libya following the tragic passing of Chief of General Staff Lieutenant General Mohamed Al-Haddad and his companions in a plane crash, affirming Sudan’s full support. He further praised Libya’s hospitality and its commitment to international peace and security through hosting this conference. He expressed particular gratitude to the Libyan Military Intelligence Directorate, led by Major General Mahmoud Hamza, for the professional organization of the event.
Joint Security Challenges and Regional Impact
Ahmed pointed out that the conflict currently imposed on Sudan is partly fueled by regional security instabilities, reinforcing the need for collective action over individual efforts. He noted that the conference provides a critical opportunity to address complex regional issues, asserting that current security conditions demand unified intelligence efforts. He maintained that regional challenges cannot be managed without cooperation between neighboring countries, as Sudan believes joint action is the only way to counter cross-border threats.
The Sudanese representative stressed the importance of transforming conference recommendations into tangible executive mechanisms to combat security crises. Concluding his remarks, Lieutenant General Ahmed reaffirmed Sudan’s commitment to working with sisterly and friendly nations to refine intelligence cooperation frameworks, thereby fostering peace and security across the Sahel and Mediterranean regions.
