SUDAN: THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS DEMANDS THE EFFECTIVE ENGAGEMENT OF CIVIL DIPLOMATS

Prolonged conflict leads to child malnutrition and mass displacement in the African country

Sudan is facing one of the worst humanitarian crises in its history, marked by armed conflicts.

As a result, the situation has led to child malnutrition, mass displacement, and the collapse of the healthcare system.

Since 2023, clashes between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have left tens of thousands dead and wounded.

Additionally, more than 10 million people have been forced to flee their homes.

The main areas affected by the conflict include Darfur, Blue Nile, and South Kordofan.

Humanitarian organizations work to alleviate the crisis in Sudan

Non-governmental organizations have played a crucial role in attempting to mitigate the impacts of this crisis.

Among them: The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and Doctors Without Borders (MSF).

Their activities include:

• Supporting hospitals with equipment and supplies
• Improving access to clean drinking water
• Assisting displaced people
• Distributing seeds and farming tools
• Providing mobile clinics for maternal and pediatric healthcare

However, these organizations warn that the humanitarian response remains insufficient given the enormous needs of the Sudanese population.

Humanitarian Civil Diplomacy can help improve the crisis in Sudan

Given this devastating scenario, the Civil Humanitarian Diplomats of Jethro International can play a significant role in improving the situation.

Through humanitarian diplomacy, they can:

– Facilitate dialogue between conflicting parties.

– Promote the safe access of aid organizations to affected areas.

– Advocate for the protection of civilians and respect for International Humanitarian Law.

The role of Civil Diplomats in Sudan is essential in coordinating international efforts

They can ensure that aid effectively reaches the most vulnerable populations.

The crisis in Sudan requires an immediate and coordinated humanitarian response, with the continued support of international organizations and Civil Diplomats  in the area, to alleviate the suffering of the population.
