Russia offers 'uncapped' military aid to Sudan

[SUDANTRIBUNE] Discussions between Sudan
Sudan

...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans. The country is currently enjoying a civil war between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, which used to be part of the army but then they got another ambitious general and you can guess the rest...
and Russia last week in Port Sudan covered political support, economic and military cooperation, with Russia offering "uncapped" military assistance to the Sudanese army.

Details have emerged regarding last week’s high-level talks between Sudanese and Russian officials in Port Sudan. The discussions focused on bolstering cooperation across various sectors, including politics, economics, and the military.

Informed sources told Sudan Tribune that Russia offered "unrestricted qualitative military aid" to the Sudanese army. This offer, aimed at strengthening bilateral military ties, could involve specialized expertise and, potentially, a Russian presence in Sudan.

The two-day visit (April 28-29) saw a high-profile Russian delegation, led by Mikhail Bogdanov, President Putin’s special envoy for the Middle East and Africa, meet with Sudan’s Sovereignty Council President, Lt. Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, and other council members.

Notably, the delegation included a sizable military component, with details regarding their discussions with Sudanese counterparts remaining undisclosed.

The issue of a Russian naval base on the Red Sea coast, previously agreed upon with former President Omer al-Bashir, was also raised. After the collapse of the former regime, Sudan decided to suspend the implementation of this controversial base until a future-elected legislative council made a final decision.
