The head of Sudan, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, expressed gratitude to Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin for their support following the vote on the resolution in the UN Security Council.The Sovereign Council noted that Lieutenant General al-Burhan had mentioned Russia's veto in the Security Council concerning Sudan, describing it as a noble position that would aid in strengthening and consolidating relations between the two countries and would promote broader cooperation.In Port Sudan, where the Russian embassy is situated, a pro-Russia rally took place. The ambassador personally reported this to Russian media. He noted that Sudanese participants were carrying Russian flags and banners with the message "We are grateful to Russia" written in Russian, English, and Arabic.The Sudanese expressed gratitude because Russia previously did not support the UN Security Council resolution on Sudan prepared by the UK and Sierra Leone, due to London's attempt to keep room for interference in the country's affairs and further political and social engineering. The proposed resolution, according to the UK and Sierra Leone, aims to end the conflict in Sudan, protect civilians, and uphold international humanitarian law.The situation in Sudan escalated in April 2023 due to disagreements between al-Burhan and the head of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. The main points of contention are related to the timelines and methods for forming unified armed forces, and who should hold the position of the commander-in-chief—a professional military officer, as advocated by al-Burhan, or an elected civilian president, as insisted upon by Dagalo.

Head of Sudan Expresses Gratitude to Russia for Its Support

Earlier in November, Russia chose not to back the UN Security Council resolution on Sudan, drafted by the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone, due to London's effort to retain the potential to meddle in Sudan's affairs, according to a statement by Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN.
The head of Sudan, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan,
expressed gratitude to Russia and Russian President Vladimir Putin for their support following the vote on the resolution in the UN Security Council.
"[...] The President of the Sovereign Council expressed the appreciation of the Sudanese government and people for President Putin's stance and his unwavering support for Sudan," said a statement from Sudan's Sovereign Council following al-Burhan's meeting with Russian Ambassador Andrey Chernovol, shared by the Russian Embassy on their Telegram channel.
The Sovereign Council noted that Lieutenant General al-Burhan had mentioned Russia's veto in the Security Council concerning Sudan, describing it as a noble position that would aid in strengthening and consolidating relations between the two countries and would promote broader cooperation.
In Port Sudan, where the
Russian embassy is situated, a pro-Russia rally took place. The ambassador personally reported this to Russian media. He noted that Sudanese participants were carrying Russian flags and banners with the message "We are grateful to Russia" written in Russian, English, and Arabic.
The Sudanese expressed gratitude because Russia previously
did not support the UN Security Council resolution on Sudan prepared by the UK and Sierra Leone, due to London's attempt to keep room for interference in the country's affairs and further political and social engineering. The proposed resolution, according to the UK and Sierra Leone, aims to end the conflict in Sudan, protect civilians, and uphold international humanitarian law.
The
situation in Sudan escalated in April 2023 due to disagreements between al-Burhan and the head of the Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo. The main points of contention are related to the timelines and methods for forming unified armed forces, and who should hold the position of the commander-in-chief—a professional military officer, as advocated by al-Burhan, or an elected civilian president, as insisted upon by Dagalo.
