Ahead of a key famine report, Sudan suspends its participation in the global hunger-monitoring system, potentially obstructing international aid efforts.
Sudan has suspended its participation in the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) system ahead of a critical report expected to show famine spreading across the country. In a letter dated December 23, Sudan's Agriculture Minister accused the IPC of issuing "unreliable reports" and undermining the nation's sovereignty.
The upcoming IPC report, due Tuesday, is expected to confirm that famine has expanded to five regions of Sudan, with the potential to reach ten areas by May. The report attributes the worsening crisis to ongoing conflict and limited humanitarian access.
The move to withdraw from the IPC is seen as a setback to international efforts to address Sudan's deepening hunger crisis. Without independent assessments, aid organizations and the international community may struggle to effectively respond to the crisis. An NGO leader operating in Sudan, speaking anonymously, warned that while the withdrawal does not change the reality of widespread hunger, it will deprive global aid groups of essential data to navigate the crisis.
The IPC, an independent body supported by Western governments and humanitarian organizations, plays a crucial role in monitoring food insecurity and coordinating global responses to prevent famine.
Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation, described Sudan’s decision as “pathetic and tragic,” noting the country's long history of denying famine and prioritizing political control over the lives of its citizens.
