@jonahrexer @AfrikaAnalyst Thanks. Of course I just borrowed it from my reading. Was really struck by how central that dynamic seems to be in the Sudan literature.
@jonahrexer @AfrikaAnalyst Also in looking to attract attention to Sudan from wider audience you need hooks. Not cynical clickbait, but ways to make complex local conflict intelligible & meaningful in terms of some other "larger" frame: Gold/artisanal mining are a way in (for me too).
@jonahrexer @AfrikaAnalyst I dont disagree with you. It is the first thing I say in the piece. The question that I do think gold helps us to understand is who is an elite? Who has military resources? How can a figure like Hemeti be a player? And does a reshuffle within elite make conflict more likely?

@Brad_Setser I really like this path dependency reading. Captures the complex and quite ironic historical sequence.
@Brad_Setser I guess I wonder – and it is a PURELY hypothetical question – if ("IF") any Western player had a "policy" bank with ExIm's level of exposure, how do we think they would be behaving?
@Brad_Setser Yeah this is where hawks and doves divide, even in the description of the situation let alone conceivable solutions. THANK you for these last few replies in particular.
@Brad_Setser I realize that this is a political rather than technical or procedural fix at the level you are arguing, but cooperation with China is clearly key and I dont see how existing voting shares at WB/IMF can be justified. odi.org/en/insights/th…

African "pioneer fronts" should not be underestimated as a force in world economy. Apart from Cocoa (Chartbook 196) focus on gold.

@Brad_Setser Struck by the fact that your response is rigorously case by case – Ghana, Zambia, Sri Lanka – and you spool bigger points out from there. No comment on progress on the more general suggestions that have been made?
