The Sudanese government army controls all of the country’s borders, Brigadier General Nabil Abdullah, spokesman for the Sudanese army, said.

“We have signed protocols (on cooperation) with the countries, there are (on the borders) joint forces, for example, with Chad, the Central African Republic. There are enough forces on the eastern borders, as well as on the borders with Egypt,” Nabil Abdullah said, answering a question about possible difficulties in controlling the borders of the Sudanese Armed Forces due to the situation in the country.
