Thank you, Chair.
The conflict between the SAF and the RSF, with de facto lawlessness, groups operating with impunity, numerous attacks on civilian infrastructure, the massive displacement of millions of people and the overwhelming humanitarian catastrophe, has finally I think captivated the attention of some of the world, but there appears to be no clear road map for peace.
The humanitarian crisis is worsening, with evidence of summary executions and mass killings of civilians. I'm at a loss to see the pathway and any semblance of security.
Dr. Babb, as governments around the world are dealing with uncertain economies and the disruption from the U.S., the more I read or try to understand here, the less I really know, and I am somewhat discouraged. Can you tell me, in your view, what you think Canada should do right now to help mitigate this war?
