Who really cares about a Russian company maintaining helicopters? It will not change the fact that Khartoum government is nothing but a corrupt and greedy establishment under the leadership of fugitives from international law.
We welcome all investment from any source. If brewery company is not to your taste, don’t hold on to it like a blind does with cane. Suck it up, you donkeys.

All these games are rubbish.
On whose soil are they going to work; Africans or Arabs?
The game behind all these shit is NOT development but a terrorist activities.
Who don’t know your tricks. If your extravagant Khartoum government could really mean development why can’t they first mind of developing other marginalized areas in Sudan than such ambiguous projects. What is taking place is a one of the evidence that the Arabs are going ahead with their agenda of killing all the African race in Sudan. They are doing this through denying them the basic services and development (No better health services, Clean water, Security, schools, roads and shelter in the rest of the country except the Capital city (Khartoum) where the Arabs are, Where are all the murderous planes going to land; bush, trees, rivers or sand?
Manufacturing planes when there are no visible and reasonable airstrips leave alone Airports manifests clear dubious plans of killins rather than development.
For this note,it Khartoum should understand that Southerners don’t care about their blood thirst developments. All these will end with them and southern Sudan (Holyland) will shine forever.
The Africans are fed up of your devilish characters.
Anyhow, that is all you will never convince any southerner that whatever takes place in Khartoum is a development for the rest of Sudan…….
Bye, we are soon leaving your hell.
