Satellite images show the construction of a large russian military base in southern Libya, near gold deposits in an area controlled by the Tuba tribes.

The base is located at a strategic point - near the borders with Sudan and Chad, in the western Sahel.

According to reports from Sudanese military journalists, the new base will belong to the "African Corps" - more precisely, the renamed PVK "Wagner". Among them are presumably former officers of the Assad army who have left Syria.

Since mid-December, russian transport planes have been flying more than once a day from the Khmeimim air base in Syria to the Al-Khadim air base near Benghazi in eastern Libya. It is known that russia has been using this base for several years to support General Khalifa Haftar, who controls large areas of eastern Libya.
