"More than 1bn (1.15bn) has been pledged for war-ravaged Sudan at a conference in Berlin, eclipsing the funding target organisers had set to help mitigate the world's largest humanitarian crisis."
"The financial commitments made on Wednesday will also help offset a chronic humanitarian funding shortfall in a country devastated by three years of conflict, where two-thirds of its population 34m people require assistance."
"As the conference got under way, Sudan's army-aligned foreign ministry denounced delegates for not consulting it, accusing western countries of a colonial tutelage approach."
"Diplomatic efforts led by the US, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UAE known as the Quad have so far failed to achieve meaningful progress."
A total of $1.15 billion has been pledged for humanitarian aid in Sudan during a conference in Berlin, exceeding the initial target of $1 billion. This funding aims to address the severe humanitarian crisis affecting two-thirds of Sudan's population, approximately 34 million people. Despite the financial commitments, peace remains elusive, with little progress on ceasefire negotiations. Sudan's warring factions did not attend the conference, and diplomatic efforts by the US and other nations have not yielded significant results.
