Sudan fasi BBC News
Sudan well Le do set our chief
International correspondent is here we
just heard the suggestion there that
this is a conflict the world has
forgotten you were briefly in Sudan at
the very beginning of the fighting what
diplomatic efforts are taking place to
try to end all this a living nightmare
that the world seems to doesn’t even
know is happening is how Ferris
described it in that powerful report but
of course Clive the world does know what
happening but world powers are
distracted by bigger crises they think
in Gaza in Ukraine and now in Haiti it’s
dominating their attention and Aid
Regional powers in afca in the Middle
East certainly know what’s happening but
different powers are backing different
sides in this war arming and empowering
not just them but their interest in a
country which is mineral rich and on the
Red Sea now it is starting to change a
bit you mentioned in your introduction a
few days ago the UN Security Council
finally called for an immediate
cessation of hostilities words matter
but it’s going to take so much more than
that pressure on these two Warlords to
come to the table even to allow Aid to
reach the millions who desperately need
it pressure on these Warlords to be held
accountable both of them accused of war
crimes even genocide pressure to even to
let journalists in to see what is
happening on the ground until the
world world powers in the west and in
the region act speak more loudly and act
more forcefully Sudan will be Forsaken
and then if Sudan goes so does stability
in the Horn of Africa in the Red Sea and
then the world will pay attention but
then it’s too late too late indeed okay
Le thank you Le do set there
