Leaders to raise funds to Sudan gather in London
AdvertisementThe diplomats and employees of humanitarian aid agencies around the world gathered in London to promote more humanitarian efforts to help people affected by the two -year civil war in Sudan.
The confrontation created thousands of dead people, replacing 12.6 million people, the UN. According to the most part of the country, hungry.
The African Union sets the one -day conference with the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the EU.
Participants appealed to “immediately to stop the hostility, but the United Kingdom Minister David Lami said the time for peace, more international efforts and” patient diplomacy “.
The main purpose of the conference is not to negotiate peace, but to respond to the name of the United Nations as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world.
Representatives from Western countries, international organizations and neighbors participated in the event, but no one from Sudan participated.
Neither the Sudan army nor the rival Samilitan Group was called rapid support forces (RSF).
Lami told his representatives that “many have abandoned Sudan,” recommends that the “lack of political will” will continue to be a major obstacle to peace.
“We must persuade the conflict parties to protect the civilians, allow the help of entering the country and keep the peace first,” Lami said.
The war began on April 15, 2023, after the tensions between the Sudan army and the RSF became a struggle for power.
The militants started in the cartoon and spread across the country, killing at least 20,000 people, although the actual number would be very high.
Last month, the Sudan army resumed the cartoon, which was considered a basic victory. However, the RSF controls most of the western region of Darpur and other zones.
The United Nations said that over 300 civilians were killed in the last fight.
This war led to hunger in some regions of the country and forced more than 12.6 million people to leave their homes. More than three million people have passed to neighboring countries like Chad and Egypt. Both sides of the war were blamed on war crimes.
According to the World Food Program, about 25 million people – half of Sudan’s population – are facing extreme appetite.

Lami, who visited the border between Sudan and Chad in January, emphasized the need to hold the spread of instability.
“Sud and region are generally migratory motors and safe and standard Sudan is essential for our national security,” he said.
The conference is aimed at finding a way to end suffering, but the United Kingdom and other Western countries have limited powers to end the war.

The UAE has denied the allegations.
Assistant Minister of Political Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Lana Nuseebe, said the two parties were committing atrocities. He is no longer aimed at humanitarian workers, but to reach the ceasefire.
The United States, which reduced most of their foreign aid, must also attend the conference.

In February, the UK reduced its assistance to 0.5% to 0.3% to increase military spending.
However, Prime Minister Kair Stremer said Sudan would be a priority with Ukraine and Gaza for British assistance.
