Sudan Signs 25-Year Naval Deal with Russia at Port Sudan
Sudan is preparing to finalize a historic 25-year agreement with Russia that will allow Moscow to establish a naval base at Port Sudan — its first permanent military foothold in Africa.
-The deal gives Russia access for up to four warships and 300 personnel
– In return, Sudan is set to receive military equipment, training and support
-The base strengthens Russia’s reach into the Indian Ocean and Red Sea
This comes at a time when Sudan faces internal conflict and power struggles, making the deal both strategic and controversial.
Analysts warn the move could shift regional power balances, affecting countries like Egypt , Saudi Arabia , and the U.S , who closely monitor the Red Sea.
