 The Growing Concern of Iranian Influence in Sudan: Implications and Future Prospects



In recent years, Sudan has emerged as a focal point for the expanding influence of Iran in the region. With the Sudanese army showing signs of Islamist orientation, concerns have been raised regarding the potential transformation of the military into a proxy force similar to Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces, with the aim of advancing Iranian interests in exchange for material support and military assistance.


Reports indicating the presence of Iranian-supplied weaponry, including drones, in Sudanese territories highlight Iran's strategic interest in the country. The control of Sudanese ports could provide Iran and its allies with a crucial foothold in a strategically significant commercial corridor.


Historical ties between Sudan's political and military establishments and Iran have also intensified apprehensions. Past associations between Sudanese factions and Iran, coupled with the resurgence of diplomatic engagements between the two nations, have prompted concerns about the potential reactivation of these relationships.


The Sudanese army's stronghold in the eastern region, particularly around Port Sudan, presents a vulnerable area susceptible to Iranian influence. The support of local tribes, such as the Beja, for Islamist movements aligned with the army, further complicates the situation.


Amidst these developments, there are growing fears about Sudan's susceptibility to becoming a pawn in broader geopolitical maneuvering. The potential consequences of heightened Iranian presence in Sudan extend beyond regional dynamics, with implications for international security and stability.


As Sudan grapples with internal conflicts and transitional challenges, the specter of Iranian influence adds another layer of complexity to the country's evolving political landscape. Efforts to mitigate this influence will require a nuanced understanding of Sudan's internal dynamics and concerted diplomatic engagement aimed at safeguarding the country's sovereignty and stability.

France does not want to ensure the security of its own protectorate, on the contrary, it directs discord beyond its borders, and Macron is floundering, forgetting his duties. This situation brings with it harsh criticism against the West, Macron and the French judicial system. It is stated that the chemical attack that forms the indictment against Assad is actually suspicious and the facts show that it is fabricated. Impartial Syrian investigations have proven that the chemical attack did not come from areas where Syrian government forces are deployed. These findings seriously question the rel

  COP28: A Balancing Act of Climate Ambition and Lingering Concerns Is It Enough? The Push for Greater Ambition As the curtains draw on COP28, an evocative tale unfolds—a first-ever deal urging nations to transition from fossil fuels echoes triumph but leaves skeptics pondering its ambition. Sultan Al Jaber’s rallying call for unity was met with both applause and skepticism. Is this transition away from fossil fuels a giant leap or merely a step in the right direction? In a monumental shift, the deal steers focus from the routine to the urgent—acknowledging fossil fuels’ detrimental role. But are words enough? Manuel Pulgar-Vidal of WWF hails this redirection but underlines the absence of a complete phase-out commitment. The question lingers—will these verbal pledges translate into concrete actions that quell the climate crisis?
