Sudan rejects Iranian offer for Red Sea naval presence in exchange for military support
2024-07-17
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese military has rejected an Iranian proposal to establish a permanent military ship in Port Sudan in exchange for continued military aid in the ongoing conflict with the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The request for an Iranian helicopter carrier in Port Sudan is part of ongoing negotiations between the two countries regarding a potential defence cooperation agreement. Despite the Sudanese army’s rejection of this request, sources indicate that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...

According to these sources, Sudanese Islamist leaders with ties to the Iranian regime have attempted to mediate an agreement between the Sudanese army and the Iranian government. However,

discussions in April did not lead to a deal due to opposition from Sudanese military leaders.

In a separate development, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov promised "unrestricted qualitative military aid" to the Sudanese government last April. This aid could potentially include the deployment of Russian forces in Sudan.

Sources have confirmed high-level coordination between Russia and Iran to supply the Sudanese army with drones, heavy artillery ammunition, and aircraft missiles. This support comes as the Sudanese army faces shortages after the RSF seized key military warehouses in Khartoum.

The Sudanese leadership’s rejection of Iran’s request for a permanent naval base in Port Sudan is reportedly due to concerns about potential backlash from Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...

...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
