Mo Ibrahim discusses the Sudan Conflict at Paris Peace Forum
11 November, 2024
On 11 November 2024, Mo Ibrahim, founder and chair of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, joined Comfort Ero, President and CEO of the International Crisis Group, at the Paris Peace Forum to address Sudan's escalating conflict and humanitarian crisis. The discussion underscored the urgent need for international intervention and cooperation to halt the violence and alleviate the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
During the conversation, both Mo and Comfort Ero emphasised the dire situation facing Sudan, where violence has claimed thousands of lives and displaced millions. To address this, the speakers urged stronger, coordinated efforts from international bodies like the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the African Union (AU).
The Sudan conflict has already resulted in a massive wave of migration, both within Sudan and across its borders, exacerbating instability in neighbouring countries. Mo warned that if the conflict is not contained, it could trigger wider regional unrest, fuelling further displacement and insecurity.
