"Libya opened" a Sudanese saying that became famous recently after border trade activity between Sudanese merchants and the south of Libya, and despite the simplicity of this phrase, it describes the extent of the deepening of the common relations between the two brotherly peoples. The period of General Muammar Gaddafi’s rule in Libya was characterized by instability and volatility, especially in the file of foreign relations. The Libyan state was in permanent conflict and developed from the Cold War with its Arab and Western neighbors and allies, which cast a shadow over the nature of Sudanese-Libyan relations throughout history. Libya represents a strategic dimension for Sudan, politically, economically and securityly. Sudan’s stability and tension were affected by the regime’s trends in Libya, and vice versa. The former Libyan regime had a major role in the unrest and wars that Sudan witnessed during the decades of the seventies, eighties and nineties, and it is considered a major contributor to transforming the rebel groups in South Sudan into an organized army, and believes that it has a hand in the Darfur unrest. Also, the deposed Sudanese President Omar Al-Bashir has appeared as a player in the Libyan political arena in his statements that Tripoli was entered with Sudanese weapons, and this was confirmed by Saleh Al-Gharyani, the Grand Mufti of Libya, praising the deposed efforts in military support.

Sudan, which is passing through this period, trying to achieve the principle of transitional justice and preparing the state for the establishment of democracy and the obstacles and realities hidden by reality that prevent the fragile security hegemony from being transformed into a spiral of internal conflicts, and the Sudanese attempt to move away from any coming conflict in the field in order to contain internal crises, Will efforts to distance oneself from these problems succeed, or will we be a victim of international and regional repression? The question remains at this critical time, about Turkey's true role in North Africa? Should the neighboring countries of Libya fear this Turkish intervention?
