The Russian mercenary group Wagner has been supplying the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group in fights against the Sudanese army, according to CNN.
Sudan has fallen into fierce fighting, edging on civil war in recent weeks as two generals vie for control of the country.
CNN cited sources in the country and satellite imagery in Libya, where Wagner-controlled bases show high activity.
Wagner, which is headed by Russian oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been an influential part of Russian influence worldwide and in the war in Ukraine. The group has been accused of committing some of the most gruesome atrocities of the war.
Wagner mercenaries have a significant presence in Syria, Libya and West Africa. Russian interest in Sudan has peaked in recent years as the Kremlin targets gold to dodge Western sanctions.
I suppose you could say that’s…how should I put it…resource-full?
So what? What NGO or the like does the US use to arm the other side?
“Wagner mercenaries have a significant presence in Syria, Libya and West Africa.”
Our govt. has more mercenaries in more places than anyone else in the world.
Why would Russia provide support to a coup against a government that had just approved of Russia building a military base on their coast?
Is this like blowing up your own pipeline?
Maybe Wagner is telling the truth. Or maybe our government is lying. No one would accuse Putin of being a fool.
