Norwegian Refugee Council: The Sudan War is one of the most terrible crises in our generation – the seventh day

The Norwegian Refugee Council said that Sudan, two years after the beginning of the crisis, witnesses a set of catastrophic factors and widespread violence that caused the deepest human collapse in the history of Sudan.

“We celebrate the two -year anniversary of the outbreak of the war in Sudan, which caused one of the most terrible crises in our generation, as it resulted in the displacement of nearly 15 million people … and gunmen attacked more than 700 days and nights, isolated civilians without punishment … civilians did not protect, and peace efforts failed.”

He stated that the crisis is exacerbated by US financing discounts, in addition to aid discounts by many European donors.

He added that the programs that were providing vital support were forced to stop working, which left millions without the basic means to survive, while about 25 million people face destructive hunger.

He continued: “Nevertheless, we had to stop our support for farmers whose products are necessary to help us avoid famine that has not yet been hit. We had to close the access centers of aid to the displaced and the weak as they can request our services.”

And he added, “We had to reduce education for thousands of children who desperately need it … This is the darkest hour for Sudan.”

Eagland pointed out that the neighboring countries that host more than three million refugees, including Chad and South Sudan, are now bearing the weight of the surplus numbers of refugees while facing their own crises, adding: “This is not just a political failure that it is a moral failure.”

He explained that we should not allow the self -interest to cast a shadow on the basic responsibility for saving lives.

The Secretary -General of the Council called on the international community to reflect these misleading transformations in financing and re -adhere to the protection of humanity, indicating that the verbs at this critical moment will determine whether we choose sympathy or conflict over the future of our common humanity.
