Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps the Government has taken to train Rapid Support Forces in Sudan and the Eritrean Border Force as part of the UK's involvement in the Valetta Action Plan and the Khartoum Process.

​The UK has not and will not provide support to the Sudanese Rapid Support Forces, either bilaterally or as part of the Valletta Action Plan. Under the Valletta Action Plan and via EU funding, the UK supports programmes designed to address the five key areas for tackling migration together with the Horn of Africa countries, including Eritrea. We have no plans to support the Eritrean Border Force.
