Addis Ababa: Bahrain, represented by Ambassador Ahmed Mohammed Al Turaifi, Chief of Arab and African Affairs Sector at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Hassan Abdulaziz Murad from the Royal Humanitarian Foundation (RHF), participated in the high-level humanitarian conference for Sudan in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The conference took place on the sidelines of the 38th African Union Summit, facilitated by the African Union, IGAD, Ethiopia, and the UAE, drawing broad participation from countries and international organizations.
