Sudan conflict: Building democracy amid the fighting

 

As the violence continues in Sudan, many countries have pledged to help people in the country. 

Recently, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) evacuated its citizens and people of other nationalities from Sudan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Co-operation of the UAE said it would help the most vulnerable groups in Sudan, including children, old people, the sick and people with disabilities. 

The United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Denmark, Sudan, Finland, Norway, Poland, Turkey, Greece, Japan and India also evacuated their citizens from Sudan. After the evacuation efforts, many people said that they “could have died any moment” in Sudan.

On Thursday, the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces agreed to the extension of the truce for an additional 72 hours after intensive diplomatic efforts by the UAE, the US, United Nations, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. Earlier, the United States brokered the ceasefire in Sudan.
