The Sudanese government criticized a German donor conference, labeling it unacceptable and meddlesome. The criticism was directed at the gathering as the brutal war between the army and the RSF enters its fourth year.

Sudan’s government on Wednesday slammed a donor conference hosted by Germany as “surprising and unacceptable”, saying the event meddles in the country’s internal affairs and was organised without consulting Khartoum. The conference is being held as the brutal war between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) enters its fourth year.
