| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The deputy head of Sudan's Sovereign Transitional Council, Malik Agar, has arrived in Russia, where he will meet with President Vladimir Putin to discuss an agreement that provides for the creation of a Russian logistics center in the country, as well as receiving arms and ammunition from Moscow. The American agency Bloomberg writes about this. It is noted that Malik Agar will visit the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) along with his delegation, which includes the ministers of finance, mining and foreign affairs of Sudan. Bloomberg, however, notes that Agar’s trip to Russia was announced after a member of the sovereign council, Lieutenant General Yasser al-Atta, announced the plans of the Sudanese authorities to sign a number of military and economic agreements with Moscow. According to al-Atta, Sudan will receive “vital weapons and ammunition” as part of the agreements, and a Russian logistics center will be built in Port Sudan on the Red Sea. As Regnum reported, Putin, at a meeting with the African delegation on June 17, called the development of relations with African countries a priority for Moscow. The head of state then noted that Russia stands for further strengthening traditionally friendly relations with the African Union. Russia also stands for further strengthening relations with African countries without interfering in internal affairs, Putin added. |

| #1 The Russian port idea has been under consideration for more than a decade. It is now clear that the Russians are arming the Arab military while the UAE is arming its enemies. Go to it! |
