Dozens of Sudanese citizens, who returned from the UAE yesterday, claimed that they were forced to go into the military training by a security company to send them to war-torn North African country of Libya.

Talking to Anadolu Agency, Akahsa Ahmed, who was part of the group announced that many young men hired by the UAE-based security agency were sent to Libya after military training.

He further claimed that they were hired to work as guards by the Sudanese Agency called Amanda, which handed them over to the UAE agency Black Shields.

“We were paid 80.000 Sudanese pounds ($950). But when we arrived at Sharjah airport, they took us to a military camp for training. We understood that they are intending to send us to Libya” he said.
