\n Germany plans to host a Sudan aid conference in the spring to raise emergency relief funds for the war-torn country, the foreign ministry said on Friday.\n<\/p>\n
\n Brutal fighting between Sudanese government forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has devastated the country, with reports of atrocities, starvation and mass killings.\n<\/p>\n
\n \"Today, the world commemorates a sad date: 1,000 days of war in Sudan,\" a foreign ministry spokeswoman said. \"Far too many people continue to suffer and die there, victims of hunger, thirst, displacement and rape.\"\n<\/p>\n
\n The conference would be held around the anniversary of the 2023 outbreak of the civil war in April, the spokeswoman said.\n<\/p>\n
\n Previous Sudan aid conferences were held in Paris in 2024 and London in 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\n \"The world's largest humanitarian crisis has already driven millions of civilians into poverty and many tens of thousands to their deaths,\" the spokeswoman said.\n<\/p>\n
\n \"Germany is doing everything in its power, both politically and in humanitarian terms, to help the people on the ground and to end the fighting.\"\n<\/p>\n
\n International calls for a ceasefire have so far failed to halt the fighting between Sudan's army-aligned government and the RSF, which is descended from the Janjaweed militias accused of genocide in Darfur two decades ago.\n<\/p>\n
\n Both sides have faced war crimes accusations over the course of the conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
