Sudan: Russia's Africa strategy advances another step

Malik Agar, the deputy chairman of the army-dominated Sudanese Transitional Sovereignty Council, left no doubt about his country’s position in comments made in June on the sidelines of the International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg (SPIEF). 

Sudan is indeed interested in reviving an agreement on building a Russian navy hub on the Red Sea, Agar said, according to Sudanese daily Sudan Tribune.

Sudan and Russia have been discussing such an agreement for years.
