Turkey has signed an agreement with Sudan that will allow it to have a military presence on the Red Sea.

It’s the latest country to expand into the area.

The list of countries already in the region or building bases there include: Saudi Arabia, China, Israel, United Arab Emirates and the US.

The US and European Union maintain regular security patrols.

But the Red Sea is also one of the world’s busiest maritime gateways for transporting oil.

So, why is there a sudden interest in the Red Sea region?

  1. Where ever the Black Nigeriod race is at all over the earth outsider's always have broken boundaries not getting married into a Nation they want to become apart of and live in, and they always try to use that Magic Trick Money to get in to turn one against the next by getting one to sale out the other and to Trick them to think they should pay for something that's already their stuff so if you really wanted to share the earth with one another by what one have and another one don't have why do you have to use that Magic Trick Box Money to put a price on life just to help one another? That mean you are dealing with each other for the wrong reason and saleing out your own kind at the same time and be living good while other's in the land would be living poor or not equal to the other's who will be living good, and that's a old game call give a little just to get alot useing that Magic Trick Money to get one to sale out the next just to get in the land and later on be controlling it and practicing oppression against the Native people of that land, and that ain't nothing but the devil.

  2. That's not red,sea. It's easy Africa
    You just hate the word Africa sop much and try to avoid it huh

  3. At the very least, presence of other countries in the region would minimize US influence and interference in the region.

  4. United States Africom Command created the Bokaharam and Alshabaab and if I tell you what Africans think about the Chinese base in Horn of Africa, we as Africans think Chinese are way better then the western colonies army in Africa.
