• Berlin hosts Sudan conference amid brutal, forgotten war

Contesto

Diplomats and aid officials from dozens of nations gathered in Berlin on Monday for a major international conference aimed at mobilizing support for Sudan, where a brutal three-year civil war has created one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters. The high-level meeting, hosted by the German government, seeks to secure financial pledges and political commitment for a conflict that has displaced millions, pushed the country to the brink of famine, and received scant global attention compared to other crises. The conference unfolds against a backdrop of profound human suffering. The war, which erupted in April 2023 between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has devastated the nation. Recent UN assessments indicate that nearly 25 million people—over half the population—require humanitarian assistance and protection. Critical infrastructure, including hospitals, water systems, and food storage facilities, has been systematically destroyed or rendered inoperable, while reports of widespread atrocities, including ethnic killings and sexual violence, continue to emerge from conflict zones. Despite the scale of the catastrophe, international engagement has been fragmented and insufficient. The conflict has been largely overshadowed by wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, leading to what aid agencies term a "forgotten crisis." Funding for the UN's humanitarian response plan for Sudan remains critically underfunded, severely hampering the delivery of life-saving food, medicine, and shelter. The Berlin conference, therefore, represents a crucial test of the international community's willingness to confront a destabilizing conflict that threatens to engulf the wider region. A central, and contentious, focus of the talks is the dire impediment to aid delivery. Both warring parties have repeatedly obstructed humanitarian access, seizing supplies, imposing bureaucratic hurdles, and directly attacking aid workers and convoys. This has created man-made bottlenecks in the relief pipeline, ensuring that even available supplies often fail to reach the most vulnerable populations in active combat areas like Khartoum, Darfur, and Kordofan....
