Sudan War Enters Fourth Year

International donors pledged nearly $2 billion in aid at a recent conference in Berlin, but the Sudanese government has rejected the outcome because it was not consulted.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has pleaded for an end to the flow of weapons, stating that committing money alone is not enough to stop the conflict.

The war has been compounded by regional instability in the Middle East, which has diverted international attention and resources.

Human rights groups continue to report widespread sexual violence and other atrocities as the fighting between rival military factions intensifies.
