Last week, the United States Department of State announced its support for the resumption of Sudan peace negotiations in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in an effort to alleviate a severe humanitarian crisis and avert the escalation of the conflict into a regional war.
Seeing as April 15th also marks the one year anniversary of the onset of Sudan’s conflict, it’s hard to ignore how the international community is, once again, abandoning the Sudanese people.
On Dec. 1, the United Nations Security Council said it would end its mission in the country, citing “disappointing” results despite the UN High Commissioner for Refugees calling for more funding to aid the humanitarian crisis.
