|{{flag|Chad}}||See [[Chad–Sudan relations]]
On 23 December 2005 [[Chad]], Sudan's neighbor to the west, declared a 'state of belligerency' with Sudan and accused the country of being the "common enemy of the nation (Chad)."  This happened after the 18 December [[Battle of Adré|attack on Adré]], which left about 100 people dead.  A statement issued by Chadian government on 23 December, accused Sudanese militias of making daily incursions into Chad, stealing cattle, killing innocent people and burning villages on the [[Chad–Sudan border|Chadian border]].  The statement went on to call for Chadians to form a patriotic front against Sudan.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4556576.stm|title=Chad in 'state of war' with Sudan|date=23 December 2005|access-date=24 November 2017|work=BBC News}}</ref> On 11 May 2008 Sudan announced it was cutting diplomatic relations with Chad, claiming that it was helping rebels in [[Darfur]] to attack the Sudanese capital [[Khartoum]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/7394422.stm|title=Sudan cuts Chad ties over attack|date=11 May 2008|access-date=24 November 2017|work=BBC News}}</ref>

Egypt and Sudan have enjoyed intimate and longstanding historical ties, seeing as they are each other's closest allies in the [[North Africa]]n region. The two countries are connected by various cultural ties and political aspirations. In the late 1970s, Sudan showed great solidarity with Egypt in its [[Camp David accords|Camp David]] peace initiatives with [[Israel]]. In 2008, Egyptian Prime Minister [[Ahmed Nazif]] urged the two countries to focus on two specific projects: the [[Gezira Scheme]] which aims to cultivate some two million acres (8,000&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup>) of land in Sudan, and a joint project to improve food security in agricultural and meat production.

Sudan asserts its claim to the [[Hala'ib Triangle]], a barren area of 20,580&nbsp;km<sup>2</sup> under partial Sudanese administration that is defined by an administrative boundary which supersedes the treaty boundary of 1899.

Egypt's policy on Sudan is in favor of a united Sudan. As such Egypt was not directly involved in the Sudan Peace Process which was hosted in Kenya under the auspices of the [[Intergovernmental Authority on Development]] that gave the peoples of south Sudan the right to secede and form an independent state in 2011 after the long and brutal [[Second Sudanese Civil War|Sudanese civil war]] that cumulatively lasted 22 years and claimed 2 million lives.

See [[Libya–Sudan relations]]

Relations between Sudan and Libya deteriorated in the early 1970s and reached a low in October 1981, when Libya began a policy of crossborder raids into western Sudan. Following a 1985 coup, Sudan resumed diplomatic relations with Libya.<ref name="libyastate">{{cite web|url=https://2009-2017.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/5424.htm|title=Sudan|access-date=24 November 2017}}</ref> Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi ended his aid to the Christian and animist, southern-based, Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) led by Garang and welcomed the incoming government of General Suwar al Dahab.<ref name="libyasu">{{cite web|url=http://countrystudies.us/libya/85.htm|title=Libya - Sub-Saharan Africa|website=countrystudies.us|access-date=24 November 2017}}</ref> In July 1985, a military protocol was signed between the two countries, and Qaddafi was the first head of state to visit the new Khartoum government. Qaddafi then strongly supported Sudanese opposition leader Sadiq al Mahdi, who became prime minister on 6 May 1986.<ref name="libyasu" /> However, Mahdi soon turned against Gaddafi by declaring Sudan a neutral state in both regional and global conflicts and ordered Libyan troops to leave the country.<ref name="libyasu" />

After Mahdi was overthrown in a 1989 [[coup d'état]], the military government of Omar Al-Bashir resumed diplomatic relations with Libya,<ref name="libyastate" /> as part of a policy of improving relations with neighboring Arab states.<ref name="libyastate" /> In early 1990, Libya and the Sudan announced that they would seek "unity".<ref name="libyastate" /> This unity was never implemented and Sudanese forces ultimately participated in the military intervention that overthrew Qaddafi by securing [[Kufra]].<ref name="libyastate" />
