Eurasia Review published on 1 July 2024 a commentary titled "Sudanese Armed Forces Agrees to Russian Red Sea Base in Exchange for Weapons" by the Africa Defense Forum published by US Africa Command.

This raises the question if Russia plans to shift its previous support for the Rapid Support Forces to the SAF or tries to play both sides of the conflict.
