Overview

  • The Sudan conflict, now in its second year, has caused tens of thousands of deaths and displaced over 13 million people, according to the UN.
  • A London conference co-hosted by the UK, EU, and African Union secured over €800 million in new humanitarian aid, adding to €2 billion pledged last year.
  • Global leaders, including UK Foreign Minister David Lammy, called for an immediate end to hostilities and adherence to international humanitarian law.
  • Foreign powers continue to supply arms to both sides, with the UAE and Chad supporting the Rapid Support Forces and Egypt and Turkey backing the Sudanese Armed Forces.
  • The Sudanese government protested its exclusion from the conference, arguing it unfairly equates the sovereign state with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
