Countries pledge $1.5bn for Sudan crisis as war enters fourth year
"This nightmare must end, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday, calling the anniversary a tragic milestone in a conflict that has shattered a country of immense promise."
"Nearly 34 million people inside Sudan need humanitarian assistance, and more than 4.5 million have been forced to flee their homes, Guterres said."
"Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticised the meeting as a colonial tutelage approach, criticising Western leaders for not consulting or coordinating with Khartoum."
"The ministry warned that equating the government and its national army with a criminal, multinational terrorist militia would undermine the foundations of regional and international security."
Antonio Guterres urged for an end to the civil war in Sudan during a conference marking its third anniversary. He emphasized the humanitarian crisis affecting nearly 34 million people and the regional destabilization caused by the conflict. The Sudanese government rejected the conference, labeling it a colonial approach and criticizing Western leaders for not consulting Khartoum. The meeting aimed to rally donors and revive negotiations, but excluded the warring parties. Guterres highlighted the severe impact on women and girls, including systematic sexual violence.
