Strategy of ‘Parallels’: China in the South Sudanese armed Conflict – Obert Hodzi
The Juba-Khartoum conflict over oil transit fees resulting in oil production shutdown in 2012 challenged Beijing’s conflict mediation strategies and its ability to coordinate the volatile Beijing-Juba-Khartoum triangular relationship.
In addition, before Chinese oil companies recuperated from the oil production disruptions, or fully came to terms with the complexities of working with the two antagonistic Sudans in their interdependent oil sector, a civil war broke out between the South Sudanese government and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement – In Opposition (SPLM-IO) led by former vice-president Riek Machar, further challenging China’s foreign policy and security strategies in Africa.
