As a facilitator, ERHC has been able to attract interest in exploration blocks. That is the value-added they bring to the table for areas like the JDZ and EEZ. I would think that the JDA and STP would have to respect them for that role; and especially now, they need them more than ever.
Maybe ERHC will be able to work its magic again in the JDZ. We shall see; but for now all eyes are on Kenya and Chad for more immediate results.
Perhaps we'll have a surprise announcement for the EEZ too.
