Russia’s Bases in Syria Critical for Operations in Africa, Here’s Why | Firstpost Africa

The fall of Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad is going to deal a heavy blow to Russian President Vladimir Putin, not just in West Asia but even in Africa. Russia had one airbase and one naval base in Syria and these were used by the Wagner Group, now Africa Corps, to use the Syrian bases to launch operations in Africa. From Syria, the Africa Corps would be deployed to Sudan, Libya, Chad, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Sudan, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, with Assad now living in Moscow, Putin has to rethink his strategies in Africa with the bases in Syria now completely out of operations.

0:55 don’t forget to mention the terrorist too

And don’t forget that terrorist we’re only stopped after the Russian intervention

The whole time the U.S. was there the terrorist were expanding and almost took over Iraq

Don’t forget the U.S. Isreal and terrorist we’re fight the government of Syria

I feel sorry for Africa as they actively jump from one bad partner to another and just run the risk of becoming nothing more that the filling for an East West war sandwich. It was the same hundreds of years ago during the European wars where it was decided to use Belgium land to settle any European war saving their own infrastructure. Only difference today is that Strategic Nuclear weapons would quickly make Africa a wasteland whilst the waring factions agree to disagree and go back home.

Whats with Russias presence in African countries with no proper governance or ex-civil wars. Such a red-flag

[rockjawchannel]

I am south east asian people wondering what kind of moslem you are in the middle east..?
In sports especially football you keep play dirty trick and too much drama on the field, in other situation your people keep busy with civil war, the world can see only very few country from middle east who actually care about Palestina and Al Aqsa. Why are you lot so obsessed that much with position and authority??
SO AGAIN, WHAT KIND OF MOSLEM YOU ARE?

[schloops]

one day indians will have to explain to russian, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Syrians and Africans why they sided with their tyrant putin

[mikebicycle]

maybe assad and putin may need to go to hide in a north korean bunker, two dictators allready hiding in a bunker and not being able to travel to most countries is very funny
