International Red Cross:'Civilian suffering in Sudan is not inevitable'

Summary

William Hilderbrandt is pleased to welcome Mateo Jaramillo Ortega, ICRC Regional Spokesperson for Eastern Africa. He asserts that '"civilian suffering in Sudan is not inevitable: much of the harm over the past three years, since the beginning of combat in Khartoum, and nowadays in al-Obeid, could have been prevented had the laws of war, and international humanitarian law, been respected."
