Washington (AFP) - The United States on Friday announced another $315 million for hungry Sudanese as it pressed the warring sides to end obstruction of aid, warning that a famine of historic proportions could unfold without urgent action.

It comes as estimates say that five million people inside Sudan suffer extreme hunger, with food lacking also in neighboring countries where two million Sudanese have fled. "We need the world to wake up to the catastrophe happening bef...

Germany has pledged more than €240 million worth of humanitarian aid for Sudan. European diplomats and aid groups met in Paris in a bid to drum up financial support for the country on the first anniversary of a power struggle that exploded into civil war. “The first thing that we have to do is to make sure that Sudan is not forgotten,” said EU Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarcic. “The people caught in this emergency are almost completely invisible. Other devastating crises have overtaken the news from around the world… Sudan is in a state of collapse.” The country has turned into...

Washington (AFP) - The United States on Wednesday implored Sudan's authorities to let aid into the country, denouncing holdups as the war between rival generals leaves millions in need of help. Samantha Power, administrator of the US Agency for International Development, said that funding for Sudan's crisis "remains shockingly low," with around 25 million people, or more than half of the population, in need of assistance. But she said that even the aid that arrives faces obstacles due to "ill-disciplined or rapacious" forces on the ground, and bureaucracy "mastered through decades of practice ...

Washington (AFP) - The United States said Wednesday that Sudan's rival forces have both committed war crimes in their brutal conflict and alleged a new ethnic cleansing campaign in scarred Darfur. After months of rising concern and frustration at the failure of talks, Secretary of State Antony Blinken presented findings following an evaluation by the State Department. Blinken said that both the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) -- whose longstanding tensions erupted into wide-scale violence on April 15 -- have committed war crimes. The RSF has also carried out ethnic cleansing a...

Washington (AFP) - The United States placed sanctions Thursday on former Sudan foreign minister Ali Karti, accusing him of obstructing efforts to bring about a ceasefire in the country's civil war. Karti, who was foreign minister from 2010 to 2015 in the government of now-deposed dictator Omar al-Bashir, is currently secretary general of the Sudanese Islamic Movement. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken described the movement as "a hardline Islamist group that actively opposes Sudan's democratic transition." He said in a statement that after Bashir's fall in 2019, Karti "led efforts to underm...

Washington (AFP) - The United States on Friday promised $103 million for Sudan and neighboring countries to support displaced people as a month of war between rival generals triggers a humanitarian crisis.

USAID said it was committing $50 million to address needs inside Sudan as well as $22 million for South Sudan, $17 million for Chad and $6 million for Egypt. In Chad, t...
