I'll be brief. The Muslim Brotherhood has been very savvy and strategic over many decades in injecting themselves not just into various conflict zones around the world, but into countries that are at peace, including here in Canada.
In Sudan, they are very much a part of the Sudanese army. They are Islamists in cahoots with the senior ranks of the Sudanese army. They are using this as an opportunity to hopefully exert greater control over Sudan and certain parts of the country, as one of my colleagues here mentioned, in terms of the balkanization of the country. The brotherhood sees this as an opportunity.
I realize that many policy-makers in Washington and Ottawa are concerned with the brotherhood. Sudan is an area of the world that you're going to want to pay very close attention to because, while they are active elsewhere, Sudan could end up being a very transformative place for the brotherhood, depending on how this conflict evolves.
