The Wagner Group's Role in Sudan's Conflict and Ties to Russian Interests.
TL;DR
Russia's Wagner Group has established close ties with Sudan's security forces, providing equipment, training, and advice to government leaders. The conflict between rival Sudanese generals has presented Moscow and its mercenaries with an urgent dilemma as they have a great deal to lose if they back the wrong side. The alliance between Russia and Sudan has yielded gold business, arms deals, and the prospect of a strategic Russian naval base on the Red Sea at Port Sudan. Wagner values its ties with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to secure a route through Sudan for the company's growing logistics hub in Libya.
