I can't find anything recent. I found an article from March about Russia and Sudan working together, and that there are Russian mercenaries in Sudan.

I keep my eyes peeled for any updates with Libya and Sudan's involvement with Russia/Turkey/Iran. Once you see the five together... woah.

I keep my eyes peeled for any updates with Libya and Sudan's involvement with Russia/Turkey/Iran. Once you see the five together... woah. Gary, well there is this - Headline - Moscow’s Hand in Sudan’s Future July 11, 2019 carnegieendowment.org/sada/79488from link - Although numerous geopolitical imperatives drive Russia to support the TMC, Russia’s outstanding contracts with the Sudanese government and plans to construct a base on the Red Sea are especially significant. The TMC has agreed to uphold Russia’s substantial contracts in Sudan’s defense, mining and energy sectors, which have expanded significantly in recent years. According to SIPRI, Sudan is the second largest purchaser of Russian arms in Africa after Algeria, and 50 percent of Sudan’s arms purchases in 2017 came from Russia. In 2017, a Russian mining company called M Invest gained preferential access to Sudan’s gold reserves, after a meeting between Russian president Vladimir Putin and former Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir in Sochi. As Sudanese infrastructure helps transfer South Sudan’s oil to global markets, Russia has expressed interest in constructing an oil refinery in Sudan to increase the profitability of its oil exploration deals in South Sudan. In addition to upholding these contracts, Russia is hoping to construct a base on Sudan’s Red Sea coast to increase its influence in the Horn of Africa and expand its presence on the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Sudan’s ousted president Omar al-Bashir asked Russia to consider constructing a Red Sea base in November 2017, due to concerns about U.S. interference in Sudan’s internal affairs. Bashir’s call fell on eager ears as Russia believes that a Sudanese government that has poor relations with the U.S. will be more likely to entrust it with a base on Sudan’s Red Sea coast. Due to Sudan’s persistent instability, Russia’s potential base construction has not been discussed publicly since January. Nevertheless, U.S. President Donald Trump’s national security advisor John Bolton’s criticisms of the TMC’s crackdowns on demonstrators could cause the TMC to adopt Bashir’s rhetoric that the U.S. is a threatening power that is intervening in Sudan’s internal affairs. The revival of this rhetoric would leave Russia well-placed to establish a base in Sudan. [edit] And this link shows a good graphic on level of cooperation between Russia and African nations. Sudan and Libya included. www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/11/leaked-documents-reveal-russian-effort-to-exert-influence-in-africa

The government of Lybia (GNA) is requesting assistance from Turkey however the resistance (LNA) has Russian help. See attached article from AlJazera. I noticed this yesterday and thought of Sam. Low and behold (what am I a pirate! - shiver me timbers ) theres an email from Sam in my mailbox. I am persuaded to continue to watch this development closely. I am also persuaded that the 9/23 Great Sign meant a lot! As Sam outlines above it is (IMO) a distinct possibility that the 70th week was kicked off that day. For many reasons I continue to look to spring 2021 for significant developments.
