BERLIN, April 15 (Reuters) – Germany will \u2060provide \u2060a further 20 million \u2060euros ($23.6 million) to Sudan this year, the development ministry said \u200bon Wednesday, ahead of an international aid conference hosted in Berlin that is aiming \u200cto gather more than $1 billion \u200cin funding commitments.<\/p>\n

Sudan’s war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid \u2060Support \u2060Forces, which enters its third year on Wednesday, has caused widespread \u200bhunger and displaced millions of people amid one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n

The conference was aimed at keeping attention on Sudan amid wars raging in Ukraine and \u200bIran, whose effects are felt more acutely by European governments, and the \u2060United States’ \u2060decreased interest in humanitarian \u2060aid, \u200bGerman Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul told broadcaster Deutschlandfunk on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“This isn’t \u200ba quick fix,” \u2060he said, “but keeping international attention on the humanitarian situation in Sudan is a substantial contribution to bringing the war to an end.”<\/p>\n

Wadephul said Germany was speaking with both warring parties, but neither side was attending the conference because they \u2060had not agreed to a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

The Sudanese government on Wednesday called the \u2060conference plans a “surprising and unacceptable” interference in its internal affairs and warned that engaging with paramilitary groups would undermine state sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Germany’s development ministry said ahead of the conference that it would expand Sudan aid by 20 million euros this year after providing 155.4 million euros at the end of last year.<\/p>\n

Germany aimed to gather funding pledges of at least $1 billion, added Wadephul.<\/p>\n

It was not only an ethical obligation \u2060to ensure people did not face hunger, he said, but also in Germany’s interest to avoid facing a large migration influx similar to the one from the Middle East in 2015\/16 as people were forced \u200bto flee. \u00a0<\/p>\n
