From the Wagner PMC page of V. Kontakte page of Military Chronicle:
We publish a request from the editors of Jeune Afrique magazine and the answer:
Hello,
I'm Mathieu Olivier, journalist for Jeune Afrique magazine. I am currently dealing with the situation in Sudan, where hostilities have resumed in recent days. I would like to ask Mr. Prigozhin a few questions about the participation of Wagner fighters in Sudan. Thank you in advance for any answers he can give.
The Wagner Group has a base, offices and fighters in Khartoum who are close to those of Mohamed Hamdan Dogolo, the country's vice president. However, he is currently involved in the struggle to seize power in Khartoum. Does the Wagner group support him?
What instructions are given to the Wagner fighters in Sudan? Do you think they should remain neutral in the current conflict or will they support Mohamed Hamdan Dogolo?
Thank you in advance for the answers that Mr. Prigogine can give.
We publish Yevgeny Prigozhin's comment:
“I can tell you with absolute certainty, absolutely exactly, and you can enter my words into any protocols, in any of the highest instances. To date, not a single Wagner PMC fighter, I emphasize not a single one, is in Sudan. And it's been that way for over two years. For two years, not a single Wagner PMC fighter has been present in Sudan. And today there is none. I think that's the main thing you need to know."
Sudan’s ceasefire breached since first hour: Khartoum residents
[AlAhram] No sooner had the first hour of the ceasefire between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces entered into force on Tuesday than the sounds of gunfire were heard in the capital Khartoum resulting in a violation of the agreement.
A 24-hour ceasefire reportedly reached between Sudan's rival generals went into effect on Tuesday, but fighting continued in the capital and it was unclear whether it would hold.
Residents said they still heard gunfire and explosions in different parts of Khartoum, particularly around the military’s headquarters and the Republican Palace, the seat of power. They said few people had ventured out, though there were crowds outside some bakeries.
"The fighting remains underway," Atiya Abdulla Atiya of the Sudan Doctors’ Syndicate told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. "We are hearing constant gunfire."
The truce between Sudan's military and a paramilitary group known as the Rapid Support Forces came into effect at 6 p.m. local time on the fourth day of heavy fighting.
