• Moscow has undertaken a radical change in its involvement in the Sudanese conflict, with the Kremlin now providing al-Burhan's Islamist-aligned SAF its "uncapped" military support.
• In return, Moscow is hoping the Sudanese leader will honour a deal struck in 2020 to allow Russia to establish a naval base in Port Sudan, a move that would enable the Russian navy to threaten directly Western trade routes passing through the Red Sea.
• If, as now seems likely, both Russia and Iran, together with China, succeed in deepening their foothold in Sudan, as well as gaining access to key maritime bases such as Port Sudan, they will be in a strong position to challenge the West's ability to protect key shipping routes in the Red Sea.
• Iran's presence in Sudan, moreover, will present a major challenge to Israel: it will complete Tehran's strategic encirclement of the Israelis.
• The Western powers must act urgently to protect this pivotal African state from falling into the hands of hostile autocratic regimes, such as Iran, Russia and China, which seek to use Sudan as a base from which to maintain their assault of the West and its key allies in the region.

Act urgently?, like the US recently acted when Russia wanted our airbase in Niger

The US and the west in general is toothless. With our utter lack of resolve to do what is needed when something needs done, I think it's just as well that we keep our military members home until the day when we have a worthy commander in chief.

Yep i agree TT, political correctness has destroyed the resolve and strength of the west

the Sudan is part of Biblical Cush, and therefore it's interesting to see the cementing of the Ezek 38 coalition as America and the western world stand back and wring their hands or say nothing not comprehending the reality going on around them. Instead they target Israel, the only functioning democracy in the Middle East.

Western Civilization is toast! We destroyed our own foundations (based on the Bible) decades ago, and everything built on those foundations is slowly toppling into the mud.
