The Elephant, a civil society platform, published on 18 February 2022 a commentary titled "China, Oil and the South Sudan Resource Curse" by Mary Ajith Goch.
The author discusses the environmental implications of oil extraction in South Sudan by the China National Petroleum Corporation, concluding that "it will not be easy to bring order to the sector, especially after more than three decades during which the oil companies explored and produced crude oil without proper government oversight."
