UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed on Friday called for an immediate end to Sudan’s devastating war, warning that the conflict is depriving millions of children of education while fueling the world’s “largest displacement crisis,” Anadolu reports.
Speaking at a UN Security Council Arria-formula meeting focused on safeguarding education in Sudan, Mohammed said the war has continued for 1,210 days and has left 33 million people — more than half of Sudan’s population — dependent on humanitarian assistance.
“Among everything this war is taking, one of the most significant is the future of Sudan depriving the education of its children.
“Today, at least 8 million school-aged children remain out of school, with a disproportionate impact on millions of displaced children, especially those seeking refuge outside of Sudan,” she said.
The conflict has triggered one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, killing tens of thousands of people and displacing millions of others.
