This was a little known fact to me. I had no idea the kind of involvement the Russians had(civilian or not) in the Sudan. I was not able to find out the name of the company that he worked for, if he did work for a company. It’s hard to say with these Russian companies/military units.
Now with this news, I have also heard that Blackwater is completing the purchasing of their planes. Everyone wants their own air force these days. LOL. -Head Jundi ———————————————————-
