London confronts international silence with raw testimony and damning figures
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
ANALYSIS
London tackles the Sudan file head-on for the Berlin conference. The Guardian quotes Denise Brown, UN official in Sudan, calling the international response "bloody unacceptable" — unusually blunt language for a UN official. She points out: "Every conversation about Sudan is about the humanitarian crisis. Why not focus on a solution to end the war?" The journal reveals that nearly half of community kitchens, a vital lifeline for millions, have closed in six months. The BBC publishes the extraordinary account of journalist Mohamed Suleiman, trapped in El-Fasher for nearly the entire war. When he finally reactivated his phone in Port Sudan in January, three years of messages awaited him: friends who thought he was dead, deceased colleagues. "It was like Judgment Day on Earth," he says of El-Fasher's fall. The Guardian notes that only 16% of needed humanitarian funding has been provided and that the Iran crisis "continues to dominate diplomatic channels."
