"This conference will bring together the international community to agree a pathway to end the suffering," said the UK's foreign minister David Lammy , who is expected to host counterparts and high-level representatives. "Instability must not spread -- it drives migration from Sudan and the wider region, and a safe and stable Sudan is vital for our national security. "The UK will not let Sudan be forgotten," Lammy vowed, as he unveiled 120 million pounds ($158 million) in new aid for the country. "The brutal war in Sudan has devastated the lives of millions and yet much of the world continues to look away. "The external support and flow of weapons must end," Guterres said without blaming any specific country in a statement issued a day before the third anniversary of the start of the war.
