Foreign Ministers Gather in London for Sudan Peace Talks, Addressing Humanitarian Crisis

As the Sudan conflict marks its two-year anniversary, humanitarian organizations and political leaders are emphasizing the urgent need for international action to address the dire situation. The conflict, described as the world's most severe humanitarian crisis, has resulted in over 150,000 deaths and nearly 15 million people displaced, with reports of famine and widespread violence against civilians. The UK Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, is hosting a conference in London with representatives from 19 countries to advocate for a ceasefire and the protection of civilians, while also announcing a new £120 million aid package. Recent attacks by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have intensified the crisis, particularly in displacement camps where hundreds have died. Faith-based organizations are urging the international community to enhance diplomatic efforts for peace negotiations, warning that without strong intervention, the situation will only worsen. The meeting aims to rally support for a unified approach to restore stability and protect Sudanese civilians.
