Sudan says it has agreed deal for Russian naval base

Sudan's Foreign Minister Ali Youssef announced that Sudan and Russia have reached an agreement to establish a naval base on the Red Sea coast, stating there are "no obstacles" to the deal.
The naval base agreement was initially discussed under former President Omar al-Bashir in 2019 and signed in 2020, but had been under review due to the civil war that began in 2023.
The deal allows Russia to establish a logistics hub for warships and to station up to 300 personnel at the base.
Youssef emphasized that the only remaining step is the ratification of the deal.
