The US thwarted Russia's return to the Red Sea
The coup d'état and subsequent civil strife in Sudan have left the fate of the Russian military base on the Red Sea, whose opening was announced back in 2020, uncertain.
This was reported by Nezavisimaya Gazeta, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“The coup d’etat in Sudan in October 2021 made it extremely difficult, and in some areas actually eliminated the possibility of implementing large and promising Russian-Sudanese projects...
This agreement was never ratified by the Sudanese parliament. And a few months later, the local military announced the need to revise the agreement, since they considered its original version not only not to meet the interests of Sudan, but also harmful to it.
By more than a strange coincidence, the revision of the terms of the agreement, and in fact, its winding down, coincided with the exclusion of Sudan from the American list of terrorist states,” the publication says.
As PolitNavigator reported, a Black Sea Fleet frigate arrived at the site of a future Russian base on the Red Sea.
