Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what recent discussions they have had with the government of South Sudan regarding the peace process.

Poor implementation of South Sudan's peace agreement is driving violence and a humanitarian crisis. Our Ambassador in Juba regularly meets with South Sudanese Ministers to push for progress. The UK's Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan met with the South Sudanese Minister for the Presidency during his visit to London in September. During visits to Juba in July and August, the FCDO Director General for Africa and Latin America, Director for Africa and the UK's Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan met with members of the South Sudanese transitional government. The UK also raises concerns at lack of progress, at the UN Security Council and through Troika (UK, US, Norway) or joint Troika and EU statements.
