Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Sudan's Government Rejects Berlin Donor Conference as War Enters Fourth Year
Caption: Sudan’s Government Rejects Berlin Donor Conference as War Enters Fourth Year. A donor conference hosted in Berlin has been sharply condemned by the Sudanese government, describing it as “unacceptable” and an infringement on national sovereignty. Officials in Khartoum accused Germany and its partners of excluding Sudan from the planning process and warned that they risk legitimizing paramilitary forces. The conference, aimed at mobilizing more than $1 billion in humanitarian aid, comes amid one of the world’s most severe crises, with widespread hunger gripping the population. The conflict between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces has shattered the country over the past three years, killing tens of thousands and displacing over 13 million people. Despite the scale of the catastrophe, Sudanese authorities view international initiatives like the Berlin conference as politically biased and potentially undermining state authority. German officials and international partners, however, argue that the gathering is essential to sustain global attention and coordinate urgently needed humanitarian relief. The crisis has increasingly been described by aid agencies and UN officials as “abandoned,” overshadowed by other global conflicts despite its scale and severity. International actors have framed the aid push not only as a moral obligation but also as a means to prevent broader regional instability and migration pressures.
