With Surface-To-Air Missiles in Arms Offer, Is Russia’s Wagner Group Prolonging Conflict in Sudan?

After spearheading Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine’s Bakhmut, Russia’s Wagner mercenary group is trying to adopt a major role in the Sudan conflict. Wagner boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has reportedly offered weapons to the paramilitaries forces fighting for control of Sudan. US officials say Prigozhin has offered weapons including surface-to-air missiles to General Hamdan’s paramilitaries. Wagner has previously sent armoured vehicles and training in return for lucrative gold mining concessions in Sudan. Prigozhin recently claimed he wants peace and offered to mediate between Sudan’s rival generals fighting for power.
