Wagner Group has sent surface-to-air missiles to the Sudanese army, sources tell CNN. The group has previously had business relations with both parties to the conflict.

It is known that Wagner entered the country already at the end of 2017, at the invitation of the then dictator and now internationally wanted Omar al-Bashir. But when Bashir was overthrown, they quickly switched allegiance and switched to the coup plotters. They are known for denying and putting out smokescreens around its activities.
