The Role of Russian Mercenaries in Sudan's Conflict.
TL;DR
The Wagner Group, a Russian private military company, has been accused of having commercial and military ties to Sudan, including involvement in gold mining deals. While the group denies any current involvement in the country, evidence suggests that Russian mercenaries have been present in Sudan in the past, including training Sudanese soldiers and allegedly helping security forces crack down on protests. The Wagner Group has been linked to serious human rights abuses in other African countries, including the Central African Republic and Mali.
