Sudan's paramilitary force shares video they claim shows 'surrendered' Egyptian troops

Sudan's paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) shared a video on Saturday that they said showed Egyptian troops who had "surrendered" to them in Merowe, northern Sudan.

There was no clear explanation for the presence of Egyptian troops in Merowe, but Egyptian and Sudanese troops have periodically staged joint military exercises in the north of the country in the wake of diplomatic tensions with Ethiopia.

The video showed a number of men dressed in army fatigues crouched on the ground and speaking to troops in RSF uniforms in an Egyptian Arabic dialect.

Middle East Eye could not immediately verify the footage and Egyptian authorities did not immediately make any public comment on the matter.
