Sudan emerges in Russia's orbit - Eastern Express - TVP WORLD

Sudan and Russia are forging a new strategic partnership built on sovereignty, security, and hard geopolitical calculations. This episode examines Sudan’s gold reserves, its crucial Red Sea position, and its military ambitions – all at a time when Russia is reshaping its operations in Africa after the Wagner Group’s restructuring.

We look at why Moscow views Sudan as a gateway to Africa, and why Khartoum sees Russia as a vital ally amid mounting global pressure. From negotiations over a Russian naval base on the Red Sea to potential advanced weapons deals, both sides are trying to redefine their place in a changing world order.

Is Sudan gaining a sovereign opportunity — or stepping into a new geopolitical entanglement?
