The Sudanese diplomat denied information that appeared on the eve that Khartoum was asking for economic assistance in exchange for providing territory for a military base. According to him, the decision to create a Russian military base was made at the level of the defense ministers of the two countries, and there is "mutual understanding" on this issue.

It is not true. These news - not true. This is unfounded news. The Sudanese side is not asking for any payments in connection with the military base agreement

- leads RIA News the words of the attorney.

At the same time, he confirmed that "some changes" will be made to the agreement, which are being discussed at the level of the Russian-Sudanese commission on military-technical cooperation. After discussing all the nuances, the contract will be signed and it will happen "in the near future."

The day before, the media reported that Sudan intends to demand economic assistance from Russia in exchange for the provision of territory for the logistics center of the Russian Navy. At the same time, it was argued that the initial lease would be signed for a period of five years with a subsequent extension for another 25.

This is a normal situation - not everyone has gotten off the palms there yet! But it is much more adequate than in Ukraine, which is surprising - after all, there are no palm trees in Ukraine, but the Ukrainians are sitting on them! Paradox! Russia will reach an agreement, practically has already reached an agreement with Sudan, but we cannot reach an agreement with "European" Ukraine ... In Sudan, even sympathetically, they ask our diplomats - "How do you communicate with these savages?"

In order not to be unfounded, as a fresh example, the speech of the deputy of the Rada Oleksiy Goncharenko (mega clown of the Ukrainian political freak show) with the story that in 1514 took place "one of the loudest victories over Moscow in Ukrainian history"... He wrote about this in Telegram. ... "Friends, Russia can be defeated. We have already done this and will definitely do it again. But our friends from Lithuania, Poland, the Baltic states do it even better."

Our Sudanese partners ask - what is the height of palm trees in Ukraine ??

It will take ONLY five years and they will begin to "twist their arms" ..

And where to laugh? One writes one thing, another another, and the truth is in the wine ???

And we are like that, even if you don’t want to ... we will give ...
You don't even need to ask us ...

To be a base or not to be, to live in Sudan or not to live, is a philosophical question, no worse than Shakespeare's. In the past, Russia also has the experience of arranging a revolution ...
Most likely, Sudan will be offered conditions to refuse which it will not be able to. And there will be mutual understanding ...

To be base or not to be

only an MTO point that does not require large costs
it cannot be otherwise with a short lease

We would only have to drop an anchor there, and then about the timing ...

Between the lines ...

All damned Afghanistan, showed to the Americans. Sudan, it seems, does not count on them. In a difficult moment for Sudan, they will run away and look for them.

They will build a base. Military. With all the infrastructure. For five years. And then the picturesque guys with rings in their noses will come and say, "Go away, snowballs." I wish I could see it.

Do you at least understand the differences between the base and the MTO item? In the latter case, it can be a reed warehouse, a hostel, a pier and a couple of supply ships. We are negotiating not about assistance, but about military technical cooperation. So we will pay with spare parts for T-55, 62, 72. We still do not have a full-fledged base in Tartus even in Syria. So stop whining. The head is empty, there is zero information, but the conclusions are at the level of the Almighty - no options.

[ximkim]

Of course Sudan will demand.
And there is nothing surprising here.

Of course. In Sudan, they learned that we have nowhere to set up MTO points, there is not enough shore, and decided to share. Free of charge.
Forgive the banality, but the Sudanese diplomat shows his professionalism: he hides the true state of affairs with a poker face behind lies.

And where did you get the idea that the previous message was true? About requirements, 5 years, etc. ? Here at least the diplomat is responsible for the bazaar, but who is the source of information there?

[URAL72]

Sudan is full of Soviet military equipment and weapons. They need parts and equipment for repair and maintenance.

[Kerensky]

We just buy from Sudan ... and what does it produce? It doesn't matter, we'll buy it anyway!
And we need a point there. We'll moor our Olterra and watch.

[Chief Officer Lom]

there will be "some changes" in the agreement

If it means that the members of the new government also want to get "bakshish", then if it is within reasonable limits, then this is the norm. True, in African countries, the eastern wisdom is often forgotten that it is better to get within the bounds of decency and maintain good relations for the future, than to try to grab it like the last time and leave the client angry. (In this, by the way, our officials are very similar to them :))

Yesterday I wrote that nothing is known for another 5 years and ours have not confirmed it. They wrote about 25 years in the news. In the end, bullshit and I was right. Stick the cons to yourself

[Nag1984]

Someone constantly makes stuffing on this topic, then ours and the Sudanese have to refute.

Well, if so!
