How conference in London failed to get ceasefire for Sudan crisis
Residents wait to collect food in containers from a soup kitchen in Omdurman, Sudan. Nearly five million people in the country are on the brink of famine as Sudan’s civil war rages on.
External actors who gathered in London on Tuesday failed to secure the much-needed ceasefire in Sudan, disappointing rights watchdogs who had hoped for a turning point in the conflict.
The conference co-hosted by the UK, France, Germany and the African Union ended with pledges of $1 billion in humanitarian aid but political differences among stakeholders hindered discussions on ceasefire.
