Sudan confirmed on Tuesday that it will review last year’s naval base agreement with Russia following speculation in April that the deal might be shelved. According to Chief of General Staff Muhammad Othman al-Hussein, who made the announcement while speaking to the Blue Nile TV channel, this is supposedly because “some of the document’s provisions entail certain harm for Sudan.” He also reminded everyone that the deal had not yet been approved by the country’s legislature, so it was never legally binding to begin with. Moreover, the military official denied that Sudan’s decision has anything to do with American pressure.

Format
Highlights
The recent torrential rains across Somalia have affected an estimated 166,000 people. The forecast for the week ending 20 May indicates a dry spell across Somalia and in the Ethiopian highlands, which is likely to reduce the risk of flooding along the Shabelle and Juba rivers.
Humanitarian partners are concerned about Belet Weyne where the risk of flooding remains. In Jowhar district, about 27 villages affecting 11,000 households have been inundated due to river breakages at Moyko and Baarey. On 16 May, the Hiiran Flood Taskforce convened a high-level meeting to discuss the response.
