Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all of the witnesses today for being with us.
This is such a large topic. There are so many things we can discuss.
We've heard so much about Sudan, and we've heard so much about the devastation that's happening in Sudan right now. Mr. Hudson, I know you wrote about the situation inside Sudan being desperate, and that there has been a “virtual collapse of state authority”. Could you talk a little bit about what could have been done to prevent what's happening in Sudan? What could the international community, and Canada in particular, do to help build peace? What lessons should we be learning from the conflict that we see in Sudan right now?
