After three years of war, Sudan confronts devastation as donors gather in Berlin

Speaking ahead of a meeting of international donors in Berlin, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said: "We want to achieve more than at the last conference in London, that was a billion dollars." "It seems to be working," he told the Deutschlandfunk broadcaster, adding: "There are more pledges coming in now, we are working on this." At the start of the meeting, African Union Commission chairman Mahmoud Ali Youssouf appealed for more media attention for Sudan's war and "disastrous humanitarian catastrophe".
