خطة لإنشاء أول قاعدة بحرية روسية في أفريقيا

February 14, 2025 - أعلنت السودان أنها توصلت إلى اتفاق نهائي مع روسيا لإنشاء قاعدة بحرية على ساحل البحر الأحمر الذي مزقته الحرب.

An agreement was discussed under former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019, but the military government that overthrew him had later said the matter was under review

Sudan’s Foreign Minister Ali Youssef said on Wednesday a deal had been signed and they were in “complete agreement” with Russia over the establishment of the port. He said what remained was only the ratification of the deal.

Moscow has for years sought to establish a base near Port Sudan.

The U.S., China and France already have a naval presence in the seas off the Horn of Africa – a key strategic and trading route, the BBC said.
