Algeria's Controversial Support for Sudan's Military

 

Such an offer from Algeria recently, placing two retired MiG-29 fighter jets on Sudan's radar, has brought heavy controversy amidst the civil conflicts. This move chimes within the larger strategy of Algeria in playing an influential role in Africa while developing the capacities of the forces in Sudan.

According to the report, this is complemented by the intention of modernizing the air force of this country especially through talks with Russia on the provision of advanced Su-57 fighters. Critics are saying that arming during such times is certainly very ethic in concern because the weapons may be turned against civilians.The implication of military assistance from Algeria is deep as it reshapes the balance of power in Sudan. This donation may fuel violence against the people in an already sensitive political scenario of the region. International observers are increasingly concerned with acts of Algeria and may cause higher punitive damages from human rights organizations. Meanwhile, while the Sudan conflict is unfolding, Algeria's role as a military backer raises a set of very critically pressing questions about commitment to regional stability as well as protection of human rights.
