”The worst humanitarian crisis at present” – thus describes the UK Foreign Minister David Lammy war-torn Sudan.
He demands that the world directs its attention to the country that has been at war since April 2023.
Lammy decided early on, after he took up his post last year, to direct the world's gaze towards Sudan. On Monday, he condemned the "ambivalent, ambiguous and definitive lack of exposure of this crisis globally and over large parts of the Western world" in a speech he held in Marrakech, Morocco.
Since the war broke out in Sudan, tens of thousands of people have been killed and 13 million driven from their homes in the regular army's battles against the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The war in Sudan has also previously been described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis at present by the UN.
