British Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper declared Wednesday that the global community has let down Sudan’s population, speaking at a Berlin conference focused on the nation’s devastating conflict while demanding unified international action to halt weapons deliveries to the region.
During discussions on the margins of the Berlin gathering, Cooper acknowledged the shortcomings in addressing Sudan’s crisis. “Countries from across the world are coming together here in Berlin to discuss the way, frankly, the international community has failed the people of Sudan,” Cooper stated on Wednesday.
The British official stressed the importance of applying maximum pressure to end the violence. “We need to ensure that every possible pressure is put on those warring parties to reach the urgent ceasefire that we desperately need to see,” she declared, while also emphasizing the critical importance of providing humanitarian assistance to those affected by the conflict.
