" ...With a Trump administration seemingly determined to neglect Africa, only China and like-minded middle powers such as the Nordics and Canada can come to the rescue and become effective peacemakers in the Sudan and beyond.."

Why exactly is this Trump's problem - or anybody else's for that matter ?
The people " neglecting Africa " are the Africans themselves - the locals ..... And anything we do would be a mere recycling of the fundamental dysfunction, to be continued ad infinitum !
And quite frankly I get tired of these academic vaporings devoid of the much more difficult matter of providing solutions - if those even exist.
