Base in Port Sudan
2023-02-10
Direct Translation via Google Translate Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Lavrov said that the Russian military base in the form of a logistics center in Port Sudan
...presumably another warm water port added to the Russian collection...
is more than real. The issue of ratifying the agreement on its establishment is in the process of being coordinated with the Government of Sudan.

The agreement was signed back in 2020, but the United States by all means prevented its creation, using various levers of pressure within the Sudanese generals and the opposition that came to power after the overthrow of Al-Bashir. However, the United States failed to completely block this issue, and Russia continues to push through this issue.

The base in Sudan will expand Russia's capabilities in the region, including near the strategic Suez Canal. It is worth noting that neighboring Eritrea also offered Russia to open a naval base on its territory.

#4  An attitude also shared by the Russians, Chinese, Democrats, and haters of 'hip-hop culture'.

#3  Degree of color also discriminated in Africa against other blacks darker. Asians have always pushed blood purity. African Americans not Africans there.

#2  /\ An attitude also shared by the Chinese. No, there will certainly be no good ending to this one.

#1  ...Given the traditional Russian dislike for black Africans (their word is, IIRC, cherzhnopy - it is their equivalent of the 'n-word') and the current diplomatic skill and finesse they're showing, this will surely end well.
