The gold alliance between Sudan and Turkey: Political and Economic Exchange
A reliable source in the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who refused to disclose his identity, revealed that a number of Sudanese businessmen close to the head of the Transitional Sovereignty Council in Sudan, Abdul Fattah al-Burhan, are currently in Turkey, coordinating with the Turks to smuggle (7 tons of gold) from Port Sudan to Turkey through a private plane after agreeing to facilitate the procedures. This highlights the close economic alliance between the two countries and its impact on politics and the economy.
Strategic cooperation between al-Burhan and Turkey
The source indicates that al-Burhan is working to stay in power by enhancing cooperation with Turkey. Sudan provides gold in exchange for political and military support, while Turkey seeks to enhance its influence in Africa, with Sudan as a main gateway to achieve this goal.
Turkish ambitions in Sudan: Africa, Turkey’s gateway
Turkey’s interests in Sudan reflect its desire to diversify its economy and access new markets. Economic investment and charitable work strengthen Turkey’s position in Sudan, exploiting the current crisis as an opportunity to enhance its regional presence.
Impact of the war crisis in Sudan on relations with Turkey
The close relationship between al-Burhan and Turkey shows that the political situation in Sudan plays a decisive role in shaping international alliances. This Sudanese-Turkish cooperation reflects each party’s pursuit of its political and economic interests.
Turkey’s regional and international role in Africa
The spotlight is on Turkey’s strategy to enhance its influence in the African continent through investments and political relationships. The focus on Sudan serves as an example of how Turkey uses crises to promote its expansion in the region.
Future challenges and impact on regional policies
Turkey faces increasing challenges in strengthening its influence in Sudan and Africa, especially amid internal political developments and international competition. The Sudanese-Turkish alliance requires addressing these challenges and adapting policies to ensure sustainable cooperation.
