Sudan is urged by Russia to address its political issues. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with Sudan’s military leaders and pushed them to work out the country’s political problems independently, saying that outside “efforts to educate the Sudanese what to do things” were counterproductive.
Since the generals deposed the civilian leadership of the transitional government, supported by the West, in October 2021, the nation has been in a state of political instability.
The possibility of a Russian naval station being established in Sudan near the Red Sea has also been discussed.

Before the Russian foreign minister’s arrival, Western diplomats met with the military rulers. They were assured of the council’s adherence to an arrangement intended to lead to a democratic transitional administration.
Their backing of the process, though, has been criticized by Mr. Lavrov.
