Russia's Wagner Group has been operating in Sudan since the time of former President Omar al-Bashirsubsequently also sanctioned Meroe Gold, saying in a statement:"Through its affiliation with the Sudanese army, the Wagner Group has secured the right to mine Sudanese gold and export it to Russia.
Ramadi said it is"too early" to say for sure"what kinds of operations they are doing in Port Sudan, if they are there," referring to the Wagner Group."They probably aren't really up to that much in terms of the base construction. So, I think we should be watching the goldmines more than the port." "I don't think Wagner is going to be that big a player in terms of shaping the outcome," Ramadi said of the ongoing struggle in Sudan, suggesting Prigozhin is more focused on Ukraine and opportunities elsewhere in Africa.
