Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 15 January (HL Deb, cols 130–2), what assessment they have made of the international response to the call of the governments of the United States, Norway, Canada and the UK for Sudan to implement political reforms; and what plans they have, if any, to raise the current violence in Sudan at the UN Security Council.

​The call of the Troika partners and Canada for Sudan to implement political reforms has received significant media attention in Sudan and the region, and the sentiment has been echoed by other international partners. We continue to monitor the situation closely and to consider all options, including in international fora, to support the democratic rights of the Sudanese people to peaceful protest and long term political and economic stability.
