The American Enterprise Institute's Critical Threats Africa File published on 13 February an article titled "SAF Announces Government Plan and Russian Naval Base."
The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) has recaptured nearly all of the capital city of Khartoum from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). SAF leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan is preparing to form a technocratic government after it completes a takeover of the capital. The RSF still controls much of western Sudan.
The door may finally be open to Russia to establish a long-discussed naval base at Port Sudan, the SAF's current capital, following US sanctions on the SAF and its leader.
