The Polish press said that the Sudanese Foreign Minister does not know anything about the plans to create a Russian military base
The Russian authorities have already announced the details of an agreement with Sudan on the creation of a military base in this country. But civil administration officials in Khartoum, the Sudanese capital, may not be aware of this arrangement.
This is stated by Jerzy Gasczynski on the pages of the Polish edition of Rzeczpospolita.
He believes that the military is trying to conclude an agreement with the Kremlin bypassing the civilian authorities of Khartoum. Although in Sudan, according to Gashchinsky, the dictatorship no longer exists, the influence of the army is still very strong. The military is close to the ousted former president of the country, who is now under arrest. They constitute the majority in the transitional collegial governing body - the Sovereign Council, and also hold the posts of defense and interior ministers. In addition, the army controls most of the state budget. In addition, the military has developed partnerships with Russia.
The Polish press said that Sudanese Foreign Minister Omer Ismail did not know anything about plans to create a Russian military base. Given the difficult situation in the country, Gashchinsky is not surprised that the Foreign Minister does not have information about negotiations with Moscow on this issue.
- the head of the foreign ministry of this African country told Polish journalists.
However, the military say that the agreement has not yet been approved.
- said the chief of staff of the Sudanese army Mohammed Osman al-Hussein to the Saudi television channel Al-Arabiya.
The signing of this treaty allows Russia to maintain a military presence in the Red Sea and in the Indian Ocean.
