A large joint force of paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, army soldiers, and other Sudanese security forces has been deployed along the border with the Central African Republic (CAR).
Brig Gen Abshar Jibril Balayil, Commander of the joint force, told Sudan News Agency (SUNA) from Um Dukhun in Central Darfur on Wednesday that the force was formed to secure the border strip between Sudan and CAR.
