LONDON (Reuters) -The European Union and Britain pledged on Tuesday to increase aid for Sudan, ahead of a conference in London marking the second anniversary of a conflict that has displaced millions and devastated the country.

Britain said the conference aimed to improve the coherence of the international response to the crisis, although Sudan's government criticised the gathering because no representative from either side of the conflict was invited.
