The war in Sudan has given Moscow an opportunity to revive an agreement to establish a military base in the Red Sea, helping it to expand its influence in the Horn of Africa region. Sudanese military leadership is possibly using Russia to gain recognition and isolate rivals. This move is concerning the US, as it could shift the balance of power in the region. The agreement may give Russia access to important trade routes and resources while providing arms to the Sudanese junta.
Russia’s involvement in Sudan signals a new chapter in Khartoum’s alliances, sparking international concerns and discussions. The potential base in Port Sudan could have far-reaching implications for both countries. The US has been trying to mediate the conflict in Sudan, but recent developments have raised doubts about the prospects for peace in the region.
