There are many risks. First is the spillover into neighbouring countries—South Sudan, Egypt, Chad, Libya—of not just refugees but also conflict, potentially. These are, in many cases, countries already grappling with issues of internal instability.
Then there are the risks of violent extremism. All of the boxes are being checked in Sudan. The factors that contribute to the rise of major violent extremist organizations are there; they're present. That's very concerning, and it's a dynamic that could affect not just Sudan, but also the region, as well as U.S. and Canadian interests.
Then there's the population displacement. We've already had almost nine million people displaced inside Sudan, but approximately two million were pushed out of Sudan into the region, which already, as I said, has issues with stability. That creates, potentially, immigration and refugee pressures beyond the region.
These are all foreseeable, plausible consequences that are unfolding before us. This is why the international community needs to pay much more attention to what's happening in Sudan.
