Russia would provide weapons to Sudan in return for Red Sea navy base

Military leaders who control power in Khartoum approved a deal to establish a logistic base for the Russian navy in Port Sudan, in return; Moscow would provide weapons and equipment to the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF).

On February 9, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov held talks with the Head of the Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo.

Before leaving the Sudanese capital, Lavrov told reporters that the deal, which was agreed upon during the rule of former President Omer al-Bashir, is readily awaiting the approval of the Sudanese parliament, without further details.
In June 2021, Lt Gen Mohamed Osman al-Hussein, Chief of General Staff, stated they need to review the agreement.

Citing Sudanese military sources, the Associated Press on Saturday reported that the Sudanese army has given the green light for the military base after getting the Russian commitment to meet Sudan’s demand including weapons and equipment.

“They cleared all our concerns. The deal has become OK from the military side,” a Sudanese military official to The AP.

The military base on the Red Sea will host 300 troops and four military ships including nuclear-powered ones. The base is crucial for Moscow’s plans to expand its influence in Africa and link landlocked countries where they are present with the Red Sea.
Moscow is accused of seeking to destabilize the Paris-supported government in Africa and offering troops hired by the Russian private security contractor Wagner to protect military regimes that flared in the continent.

Until recently, the focus was shed on the head of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the deputy head of the Sovereign Council after several reports about his close cooperation with Wagner in Sudan cold mining and in the neighbouring Central African Republic.

JUST IN - Pentagon does not know to what keeps these "objects" aloft, unknown propulsion systems.

"We're calling them objects, not balloons, for a reason," says U.S. Air Force General Glen VanHerck.

Zin Note: Gif is from "The X Files" intro, before people think I didn't know that.

The head of the North American Joint Aerospace Defense Command and the US Northern Command, General Glen Van Herk, did not categorically rule out the possibility of an extraterrestrial origin of the objects shot down over the past week over his country and neighboring Canada, noting that American intelligence services should deal with this issue.

"I will give the opportunity to the intelligence community and counterintelligence to find out. I do not exclude anything at the moment," he said, answering the question of whether the Pentagon had abandoned the version of the alien origin of objects.

Van Herk acknowledged that the US military currently cannot say exactly "what keeps them in the air." "I won't characterize them as balloons. We don't just call them objects," he said. “Inside this structure there may be a ball filled with gas, or they may have some kind of thrust system,” the general explained. According to him, the objects were similar to each other in size and speed of movement. At the same time, according to Melissa Dalton, Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Western Hemisphere, they were all different from the downed Chinese balloon on February 4: in the case of him, the US military "knew exactly what they were dealing with."

❗️ Not only a soldier can fall into such a trap, but also a civilian - a child or a builder.
