Tomorrow, London will co-host with Germany and France a global conference on the devastating civil war in Sudan. More than twenty senior diplomats and foreign ministers along with senior civil society leaders will convene to discuss approaches to end the conflict.
The conference is timed to mark the second-year anniversary of Sudan’s civil war, which has unleashed unprecedented famine conditions, killed thousands of people, and forced millions to flee their homes and communities.
The conference comes on the heels of a massacre by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of the entire staff of the last medical clinic in a famine-stricken camp in Darfur, Sudan, and a wider assault that killed at least 100 people.
John Prendergast, Co-Founder of The Sentry, said: “To hold a conference simply focused on humanitarian band aids while the RSF and Sudanese military continue their brutal war against each other and against Sudanese civilians is incomplete.
Governments around the world need to call out the United Arab Emirates for its ongoing support of the RSF and its deadly offensives, and do the same with Egypt and Saudi Arabia for their support of the Sudanese Armed Forces.
Bringing these regional powers together to negotiate an end to their support and imposing significant financial and legal accountability measures on those who continue to stoke the violence is needed in parallel to expanded humanitarian assistance
