🕳️ Released Phantom Node 119: The Sudan Corridor. Gold Logistics and a Red Sea Base
- Foundation date
15 January 2026
This project is a philosophical and artistic study of the phenomenon of "phantom nodes" — invisible yet influential objects and subjects in the contemporary global system. The descriptions contained within this study are metaphorical and allegorical, aimed at uncovering systemic problems, regimes, and civilisational influences. They are not a journalistic investigation or legal accusations, but serve as an artistic interpretation of reality.

Mode: Maritime Extraterritoriality / Continental Transit
🕳️ Released Phantom Node 119: The Sudan Corridor. Gold Logistics and a Red Sea Base
The maritime gate of chaos. The exit point of the shadow economy into the global ocean.
Who is this?
The Sudan Corridor is not a state and not a person, but a transit system linking inner-African extraction to global trade. It closes the chain between mines in CAR and the Sahel and international markets via the Red Sea. Its phantom nature lies in dual loyalty: cooperation with opposing sides of Sudan’s civil war.
Type of node:
Logistical · military-financial · transit
Status:
Above states · shielded by war
Form of control:
Armed route protection · port extraterritoriality · shadow financial channels
Phantom image:
A rusted anchor made of gold bars sinking into blood-red waters.
What remains after the phantom:
A corridor, a route, a contract, silent consent.
Core of the node:
What sustained it?
War as a veil, port control, illicit gold legalization, unmarked military presence, offshore financial infrastructure.
How did it become a phantom?
When logistics replaced politics and war replaced governance. The state lost its body and became a route.
Why does the phantom still exist?
Because chaos is profitable, customs control is absent, and regional institutions are weak.
Phantom’s condition:
Active · camouflaged · integrated into global markets.
After the regime:
— smuggling routes exposed
— financial chains of gold laundering uncovered
— extraterritorial port zones dismantled
— military-logistical cover criminalized
— resource flows audited
— maritime and customs control restored
Collective reaction:
The sea must not be a shelter for crimes.
Trade cannot be built on war.
Gold does not justify death.
Core principle:
When a state becomes a corridor, sovereignty disappears along with accountability.
Alt-text:
Visualization of the Sudan Corridor: a rusted anchor made of gold bars in the Red Sea symbolizes the binding of military logistics to resource plunder and global trade.

🫧 Phantom Node Dossier 119: The Sudan Corridor — Gold Logistics and Red Sea Naval Base.
Key Aspects of the Phantom:
"The Maritime Gates of Chaos." Node 119 is the exit point for the aggressor’s shadow economy into the World Ocean. Its phantom nature lies in dual loyalty: Russia supports the RSF to secure gold mining while negotiating with the official government for a naval base, effectively managing both sides of the civil war.
Regimes:
⚓ Port Exterritoriality Regime: Creating a zone in Port Sudan that de facto bypasses local laws, used for the transshipment of weapons and gold.
🩸 War as a Smoke Screen Regime: Maintaining a consistently high level of conflict in Sudan to allow the unchecked export of resources without international customs oversight.
🔗 Continental Transit Regime: Transforming Sudan into a logistics gateway for all African resources controlled by the GRU.
Tools:
🏗️ Russian Naval Facility Project: Using the construction of a logistics point as cover for deploying SIGINT centers to monitor Red Sea communication cables.
✈️ Military Transport Aviation: Unmarked flights between Libya, Sudan, and the Hmeimim airbase (Syria) for the rapid transport of high-value cargo.
💰 UAE Shadow Dealers: Financial infrastructure in Dubai providing the conversion of Sudanese gold into hard currency and crypto-assets.
Civilizational Influences:
📉 Threat to Global Trade: Establishing a Russian military enclave at a strategic chokepoint (Red Sea) near the Suez Canal.
📈 Funding Global Destabilization: Sudanese gold serves as the essential fuel for sustaining the war in Ukraine under sanctions.
⚠️ Erasure of Sudanese Statehood: The final transformation of Sudan into a "gray zone" where human life holds no value compared to a gram of gold.
