Wagner mercenary group is not in Sudan: Prigozhin

Wagner mercenary group is not in Sudan: Prigozhin

Russia’s Wagner mercenary group is just not working in Sudan and has not been concerned in politics there since Omar al-Bashir was deposed by military officers in a 2019 rebellion, its head Yevgeny Prigozhin mentioned on Thursday.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned final month he was involved concerning the engagement of Wagner in Sudan, though he didn’t give any proof.

“Wagner is not in Sudan,” Prigozhin, who based the personal navy contractor in 2014, mentioned in an audio clip posted on Telegram. “Wagner never got involved in the domestic political affairs in Sudan after the departure of Omar al-Bashir.”

Prigozhin denied a declare by military normal Yassir al-Atta to the Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that Wagner was in Sudan, on the Jebel Amer gold mine in Darfur. Atta additionally mentioned a Wagner sniper had been killed.

“The whole world knows where they are located,” Atta informed the newspaper. He additionally mentioned General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, generally generally known as Hemedti, who leads the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces which can be battling the military, had 53 tonnes of gold in Russia.

Reuters was unable to confirm that declare.

“In any area that has companies that extract gold for Hemedti in Sudan or on the borders with Libya or the Central African Republic, there are Wagner elements,” Atta mentioned.

“What Yassir al-Atta said in an interview today is complete nonsense,” mentioned Prigozhin, who added that unidentified geological developments in Sudan had been closed way back.
