GERMANY PERSPECTIVE

Berlin hosts the Sudan conference and German media covers the subject with the factual rigor that characterizes it. Tagesschau opens with the story of Mahasen Fadl, a mother who fled El-Fasher on foot with her seven children. Her two-year-old daughter, Asawir, wounded by shrapnel, died in her arms during the march. "She bled continuously until she died." Tagesschau recalls estimates of 60,000 deaths in El-Fasher alone, and notes that fighting has shifted to South Kordofan and the Blue Nile. Deutsche Welle directly connects Sudan's crisis to the Iran war: Welthungerhilfe reports that fuel has risen 80%, wheat 70%. The WFP deputy director warns that all Sudanese diesel comes from the Gulf, as do fertilizers. "I'm also worried about the production side," he says — the next harvest is threatened.
