Khartoum, Sudan – (African Boulevard News) – Sudan has entered the second day of a truce as the country tries to bring an end to the violence that has ravaged the nation for more than two months. Meanwhile, in Geneva, an international conference on humanitarian aid to Sudan has convened. The conference comes at a crucial time, as the country is in desperate need of aid to help those affected by the conflict.
According to reports, the truce between the Sudanese government and opposition forces has been holding steady, with no reports of any significant violations. The ceasefire was agreed upon on Sunday in an effort to bring an end to the fighting that has killed hundreds and displaced thousands.
The truce has been welcomed by many, including the United Nations, which has been calling for an end to the fighting and for humanitarian aid to be delivered to those in need. The international community hopes that the ceasefire will pave the way for a political solution to the crisis in Sudan.
In Geneva, the conference on humanitarian aid to Sudan has brought together representatives from more than 20 countries and organizations. The aim of the conference is to raise funds to address the urgent needs of those affected by the conflict in Sudan, including food, medicine, and shelter.
“The situation in Sudan is critical, and the people of Sudan need our help,” said Mark Lowcock, the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. “The international community must come together to provide the necessary resources and support to those in need.”
Many have hailed the conference as a step in the right direction, but there are concerns that the aid may not reach those who need it most. The Sudanese government has been accused of detaining aid workers and blocking humanitarian aid from entering the country.
“We welcome the international community’s efforts to provide aid to Sudan, but we urge the government to ensure that this aid reaches those who need it most,” said Sally Haydock, the Director of Operations for the International Rescue Committee in Sudan.
As the country enters its second day of truce and the international community comes together to provide aid, there is hope that Sudan will soon be able to overcome the crisis that has engulfed it for more than two months. However, there is much work to be done before peace and stability can be restored to the region.
