Wagner PVC ears in Sudan. Why Moscow blows another war in Africa
Sudan is one step away from a full -scale war, and here again did not do without Muscovy. The African country is governed by a group of generals. The main ones are Abdl Fatti Al-Burhan (Sudan's Army Chairman, in fact President) and Mohammed Hamdan Daglo (fast support commander). Both went into thoughts on the direction in which the country moves and the transition to civilian management. In fact, it is about money and influence. Hamdan Daglo - on a short leash from the Russians.
He is a fierce difference, Sudanese copy of Prigozhin. He is categorically opposed to civilians, and controls part of the country, in particular - the construction sector and the gold mines. His junta is supported by the Wagner. The general arrived in Moscow last year, met with the secretary of the Radbeza Mykola Patrushev. As a result, the Kremlin got a military base on the Red Sea. It is, as investigators confident, is a fee for the support of the Wagner.
Al-Burhan Abdle is practically "legitimate" Sudan's head. He came to power as a result of a coup and now strengthens his throne. Therefore, he insists that Daglo's troops become part of the army. First, it will conquer a competitive group. Secondly, control all minerals (in the first place, it is about gold and ore). The conflict entered the hot phase after a few days of tension: members of the fast support forces were relocated throughout the country, the army regarded it as a threat.
Russia is not the first year on Sudan, but now actively impedes any trend to democratization. OCCRP conducted an investigation and found out that Prigogine bribes Sudan officials, sends them weapons and earns in gold instead. Putin's chef works through Meroe Gold (M-Invest "), which is under US and EU sanctions. The Sudan's Ministry of Natural Resources actually transferred to the "Wagner" (read - the Kremlin) gold -bearing mines, without even claiming the promised 30% of the money earned.
Prigogine reformed his M-Invest company for a relative of one of the leaders of "Unified Russia" Andrei Turchak. The media wrote about his possible appointment to the post of governor of St. Petersburg. After that, Prigogine began to publicly attack and accuse the inaction of the current governor Alexander Beglov. Sudan is one of the typical Kremlin colonies. Through the "Wagner" the bunker mode tries to control the famous territory of Africa.
