Khartoum – The London Conference took place just two years after the Sudanian Civil War broke out on April 15, 2023, and attempted to end the conflict, without a final declaration.
The conference was convened by the UK, the African Union (AU), the European Union (EU), France and Germany, and was attended by foreign ministers and high-level representatives from Canada, Chad, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, Norway, Norway, Qatar, South Sudan, Sudan, Swatzerland, Turkish, Arab, Arab, Arab, Arab, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Egypt, Ethiopia and Kenya. High-level representatives of the League of Arab Nations (LAS) and the United Nations (UN).
However, the lack of two opposition forces led by the Sudanese Army (SAF) led by General Abdel Fatta al-Burhan and the rapid support force (RSF) led by Mohamed Hamdan “Hemeti” Dagaro severely limited the prospects of progress. Organizers of the conference said this year’s attendees have pledged more than $1 billion to Sudan and its neighbors. The figures include $590 million from the EU and its member states and $158 million from the UK.
The final declaration, which was to deal with the formation of contact groups to mediate between parties due to differences in Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, was defeated. The first two support General Al Burhan, while the third is suspected of siding with Dagaro. The latter, in line with the London Conference, declared yesterday, on April 15, what he called the “Government of Peace and Unity, the true face of Sudan,” the formation of an alternative government led by General Al Burhan.
Dagallo described the regime as “an alliance between the Sudan Revolutionary Front, civil society, humanitarian organizations and youth movements.” He also emphasized that the RSF government aims to unite Sudan by committing to providing education, healthcare and critical services across war-torn countries, not just the territory they control.
