Arriving in Sudan, Iranian Delegation Significatively Changes Regional Dynamics Turan Emre

Recent occurrences include five technical experts from Iran landing in Sudan have significant consequences for international relations and regional security. The delegates were received by Sudan's army as well as General Intelligence Organization. Credible sources indicate that the major objective of this delegation is to provide particular instruction on call hacking techniques, jamming devices, and drone operation using Iranian equipment.

The training classes are set to take place in Arousa village, an area that lately has become strategically important thanks to recent improvements. This operation runs parallel with claims suggesting Iran supports Sudanese army and intelligence in operations causing civilian losses. Such assistance is probably going to affect not just the general security situation in the area but also the bilateral ties between Iran and Sudan.

New Ties and Military Cooperation

In October 2023 Sudan restored diplomatic ties to Iran following a seven-year break. Military cooperation sprang from this rebirth of connections very rapidly. In December 2023, a delegation from Sudan visited Iran in order to acquire Iranian Mohajer-6 attack drones. Early 2024 saw these drones in operation in the Sudanese conflict already. Reports and graphic evidence from sources including Radio Dabanga exposed Iranian Revolutionary Guard cargo planes at Port Sudan, therefore underscoring Iran's direct support of Sudan's military activities.

Although they have been silent about their real origins, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have freely denied purchasing weapons from Iran. Notwithstanding these assertions, Iranian military technology and experience obviously considerably enhance the SAF. Especially in Omdurman, Sudan's second most populated city, SAF's Iranian-supplied drones have been crucial in helping to regain territories lost to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

Strategic Effects

Iran's actions in Sudan go beyond basic military support. The rebuilt ties have let Iranian Navy ships reach Sudanese ports, therefore enabling Iran a modest but vital presence in the Red Sea. Though repeated requests have been made, Sudan has not yet let Iran set a permanent naval base. Analysts think that Iran's backing of Sudan would radically tip the regional balance of power. Mehmet Kilic, writing for the Middle East Monitor, emphasized how the restoration of Iran-Sudan ties can influence not just regional but also global geopolitics.

Context in History

Military cooperation between Iran and Sudan is not a modern phenomena. For Sudan for the past five years, Iran has been a crucial military ally providing training and helping to acquire Chinese military equipment. The SAF has flown Iranian aircraft in several wars, including the protracted civil war that finally resulted in the separation of South Sudan.

The entrance of the Iranian team in Sudan marks a turning point in the ties between the two countries and has general effects on regional security. Iran's help will probably be very important as Sudan negotiates internal conflict with the RSF. The flood of Iranian weapons and knowledge into Sudan could change the strategic scene of the Red Sea and beyond, so stressing the need of closely observing these changes.

Somali Parliamentarians Decry Port Deal Between Ethiopia and Somaliland

Nairobi, Kenya: Tensions flared Thursday as Somali parliamentarians in Kenya, along with prominent Somali leaders, vehemently condemned the recent port deal struck between Ethiopia and the breakaway region of Somaliland. The agreement, signed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Somaliland President Muse Bihi Abdi, granting Ethiopia access to the Red Sea through Somaliland's Berbera port, was deemed a brazen affront to Somalia's territorial integrity. Dr. Aden Keynan, a Somali lawmaker, described the deal as a blatant violation of Somalia's sovereignty. He, along with other concerned voices, urged the international community to act swiftly if Ethiopia refuses to retract the agreement. Calls for intervention were directed towards the United Nations, the African Union, and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). The agreement further ignited anxieties across the region, considering the historical animosity between Somalia and Ethiopia. One Kenyan MP war...

Tensions Escalate as Talks Resume Between Somaliland and Federal Government

In a region marked by historical complexities and territorial disputes, the recent resumption of talks between the federal government and the breakaway territory of Somaliland has sparked new tensions. The discussions, hosted by President Ismail Omar Guelleh of Djibouti, aimed to navigate the delicate relationship between these entities. However, these talks faced strong opposition from President Said Abdullahi Deni of Puntland, a semi-autonomous region within Somalia's northern part. Denouncing the absence of Puntland in the discussions, Deni condemned the reopening of talks, highlighting the ongoing border disputes between Puntland and Somaliland as a significant point of contention. Since February, clashes between the Somaliland army and SSC-Khatumo forces have escalated, with both sides accusing each other of instigating fatal combat in Las Anod town. This protracted conflict has contributed to heightened tensions in the region and complicated the efforts toward resolution. Som...

Political Tensions Rise as Somali Leader Criticizes President's Visit to Ethiopia

In a recent turn of events, Abdirahman Abdishakur Warsame, the leader of the Wadajir political party and a member of parliament in Somalia, has voiced strong disapproval of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud's decision to travel to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The president's planned visit is aimed at attending three crucial conferences, including the 37th African Union (AU) Summit, the International Government for Agricultural Development (IGAD), and the East Africa Community Leaders Conference. Warsame, however, described the president's choice as a mistake and criticized the government's handling of its diplomatic ties with Ethiopia. He asserted that if contacts with Ethiopia were not deemed necessary, the government should have minimized its engagement with the neighboring country. Warsame emphasized the need for the president to provide an explanation for attending the meetings in Addis Ababa, particularly considering what he referred to as Ethiopia's actions underminin...
