Member of Parliament Adis Ahmetović Supports UMBAJA e.V. Campaign

“The situation in Sudan is dramatic and requires our full political and social attention,” said the Foreign Policy Spokesperson of the SPD parliamentary group. According to CARE, 24.6 million people – more than half of the population – are currently acutely threatened by hunger, including 3.7 million children suffering from severe malnutrition. Yet, only twelve percent of the required resources for food aid are currently secured.

​

Ahmetović stressed that the international community must no longer remain inactive in the face of this humanitarian catastrophe. It is the joint responsibility of politics and civil society to ensure both reliable financing of aid measures and the strengthening of local initiatives.

​

The campaign “Voices of Sudan”, launched by UMBAJA e.V., pursues precisely this goal: giving those affected a voice and making the suffering of the civilian population visible. “I thank you for giving those affected a platform with the campaign and for bringing the issue to the public,” wrote Ahmetović. He announced that he would also bring the issue more strongly into focus in the Bundestag – as a “matter of humanity.”

​

For UMBAJA e.V., the support of the Member of Parliament is an important signal. The association has been committed for years to social dialogue, international solidarity, and raising awareness for crises that too often receive too little global attention.

​

The campaign “Voices of Sudan” makes one thing clear: Behind the stark numbers lie millions of fates – families struggling every day to survive, children whose future is overshadowed by hunger and hardship. Making their voices heard is not only the task of politics but a moral obligation for society as a whole.
