Absolutely.
Obviously, with regard to Russia, they aren't a positive actor in the country. I think their interests are probably much more for chaos as opposed to stability in the country. Historically, they were quite aligned through Wagner to the RSF. Their interests there were in having access to the gold mines that were controlled by the RSF. Obviously, things have changed quite a bit with regard to Wagner and the death of Prigozhin, but the Russians are still transitioning their approach with respect to using other means to be able to influence and engage with the Government of Sudan. Their interests are particularly in having access to gold in the country and to a port on the Red Sea.
China's interests are quite a bit different. We assess that they are likely more interested in stability than instability as a result of their significant investments in the oil sector in South Sudan. Only one pipeline runs out of South Sudan, and it runs through Sudan. There have been real issues with the stability of that pipeline as a result of the violent conflict in the country. From the Chinese perspective, the continuation of this war is likely a threat to their access with regard to the oil there.
For any country in the region, this war is of particular concern. There are significant migration issues related to this, with refugee flows in particular to the Central African Republic, South Sudan and Chad. These create significant challenges for those countries. There are also often ethnic ties that cross borders and that influence the stability or how this particular war plays out in those countries as well.
Canada's position is very much encouraging all actors to refrain from supporting the belligerents and recognizing that doing so is not in the interest of international human rights law or international humanitarian law.
