Coup in Sudan and the arrest of Putin's ally: a sad fate is predicted to Russian President

Russian President Vladimir Putin was predicted a worse fate than his ally, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, who was removed from office by a military coup on April 11.

This is written by users of social networks.

"A similar scenario can happen in Russia. Only Putin is unlikely to be arrested – he would be immediately killed," - known Russian opposition blogger and journalist Alexandr Sotnik wrote in Facebook.

In turn, the mercenaries of PMC "Wagner" that were "delegated" to Sudan from the Russian Federation at the request of al-Bashir were remembered.

"In November 2017, the President of the Sudan, accused by the international court of genocide, visited Putin at his residence in Sochi and asked for protection from the United States. Soon there were reports of the transfer to Sudan of mercenaries of PMC “Wagner”, who were engaged in the dispersal of local protesters (apparently - Americans)," journalist Aleksandr Kushnar wrote.

As it was earlier reported by "Apostrophe", mercenaries from unofficial Russian private military companies were observed in Sudan during the suppression of anti-government protests.
