Russian envoy meets Sudan’s army commander in show of support

Russian deputy foreign minister, Mikhail Bogdanov visited Sudan on Monday (29 April) in a signal of support for the Sudanese army, which is locked in a year-long war with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Bogdanov, also a special representative for the Middle East and Africa, met Sudanese army commander Abdel Fattah al-Burhan in the Red Sea City of Port Sudan.

Since the RSF took over large parts of the capital, Khartoum, early in the conflict, the city has been a base for the army and government officials.

Bogdanov said his visit could lead to increased cooperation and expressed support for “the existing legitimacy in the country represented by the Sovereign Council”, according to a statement from the council, which is headed by Burhan.
