“We can’t look away” – Britain hosts the Sudan talk because famine needs

In the words of one of the masters of British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, a high-level international conference is being held in London to find “avenger to peace” in London.

The civil war in Sudan began exactly two years ago, leading to what aid agencies call the world’s worst humanitarian crisis.

The UK promises to provide an additional £120 million ($159 million) in food and medical assistance.

The charity says 30 million people in Sudan are in desperate need, and the war is hungry.

“Many people gave up on Sudan – it’s wrong – when we see so many civilians being beheaded, young babies suffering from sexual violence, more people facing famine than anywhere else in the world… we simply can’t look away, which is morally wrong.”

With widespread reports of sexual violence and the genocide in Darfur, more than 12 million people have been forced from homes in Sudan and thousands have been killed.

In recent days, the Rapid Support Force (RSF) has launched strong ground and air attacks on displaced persons near the city of El-Fasher in an attempt to capture the last state capital of its rival Sudanese army held in Darfur.

Zamzam provides temporary shelter for an estimated 500,000 people and is currently systematically destroying the intent to arson attacks of RSF troops, the Humanitarian Research Laboratory at Yale School of Public Health said.

The RSF has not commented on the allegation. Meanwhile, the Aid Team Doctors (MSF) without Borders said more than 20,000 people fled to the town of Tavira in North Darfur in less than two days.

Marion Ramstein, who is a member of the BBC, told Marion Ramstein that some of them died after death, some lacked water and food. The children died after not drinking water for two days. Therefore, water here is the main demand. ”

Some survivors told the BBC that they were robbed by armed gangs while they fled and they had to make heartbreaking decisions because they could not carry them because they could not carry the injured.

One woman said: “The robbery gang took everything we had on the way, we had sick relatives with us. We left our mother behind and we didn’t know what happened to them.”

Another said her two children were sick and headed to Tavira on a few days-long walk, adding: “Some people also stopped us, took our cell phones and property… Now we can’t get rid of our fatigue and have a leg injury.”

Ms Ramstein said that additional tents have been added outside Tavira’s only hospital and the hospital is “already overwhelmed”.

Tuesday’s ministerial meeting was co-chaired by the UK, the EU and the African Union.

The aim is to unite international partners on a common standpoint, incorporate more food and medicine into Sudan and start mapping out a way to end hostilities, officials said.

Main wars in Sudan – neither the Sudanese armed forces nor the RSF were invited.

They will be represented by regional allies, some of whom diplomats say are intensifying the conflict. Among them is the United Arab Emirates (UAE), accused of arming the RSF, which is denied.

Despite allegations at home and abroad that they are supporting the RSF, the Kenyan government is still attending talks on Tuesday. President William Ruto held RSF numbers in Nairobi earlier this year, and they announced plans for Sudan’s rival government.

Kenyan Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi told the BBC’s News Day plan that the RSF summit in Nairobi in February was “purely between each other”. He insisted that the incident was misreported, “Kenya never participated in the government in exiled or parallel governments of any country…Kenya represents a Sudan.”

“Kenya is the mediation center,” Mudavadi added. Their approach was not “opposition” and they had previously hosted the de facto leader of Sudan, Abdel Fattah al-Burhan.

The War – The Power Fight between the Army and the RSF – began on April 15, 2023, after the Army and RSF leaders were in trouble due to the country’s political future.

Speaking in London on Tuesday, the African Union (AU) said: “There is no way Sudan has a military solution, only direct, unconditional hostilities. Then, an all-inclusive dialogue must be held to end the war.

He added: “The ordinary Sudanese people are the first to be brunt.

“The AU will not allow the Balkans… or the Sudan’s partition.”
