I think I read about this conflict in one of the editions of "A Quick & Dirty Guide to War" by James Dunnigan and Austin Bay. They spend a lot of time going over the entho-linguistic, culutural, religious, geographical, historical fault lines that underlie the various conflicts and flash points in the world which are ignored by the media. It's become my go to refference for getting a good background summary of conflict drivers, data points have a lot of overlap with this site.

I wonder how the Chinese will feel about their multi billion dollar railway investments being threatened. Perhaps a good opportunity for PLA "peacekeeping forces" to cut thier teeth. The 2017 DoDmannual report to congress on the Chinese military says the PLA is looking to increase international deployments, including to Africa to conduct humanitarian assistance and to " protect Chinese investments, citizens, etc"
