Sudan's forgotten crisis, and how EU foreign aid helps big business
This week we published an exclusive interview with Nicholas Kristof, an award-winning New York Times columnist. He spoke about what he saw in Sudan and the global community’s failure to respond to one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises — as the conflict in Gaza overshadows other crises around the world. As public attention wanes in the face of new crises, we question whether crisis fatigue is hindering humanitarian aid from reaching those in dire need.
We also discussed a study that revealed European companies — including Siemens, BioNTech SE, Möller Group, and SUEZ — are benefiting from investments in over 60% of the EU Global Gateway projects examined. We dig into the study’s details and whether Europe is doing enough to channel funds to the Global South and meet the needs of local communities.
Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, it appears as though the Department for International Development — which was merged with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 2020 — will not be restored anytime soon. We learned that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer rejected top-level advice that he could restore a separate U.K. aid department with “negligible” cost and disruption, according to a new book by former senior development officials.
