Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what recent steps they have taken to support progress towards a ceasefire, and ultimately an end to the conflict, in Sudan.

The UK is actively working towards ending the conflict in Sudan. The Foreign Secretary has spoken with regional partners to explore how the UK can assist international mediation efforts. The UK's Special Representative to Sudan visited Port Sudan in December 2024 which was the UK's first official visit to the country since the outbreak of the conflict in April 2023.

The UK's Special Representative to Sudan pressed for a resolution to the conflict and for all parties to engage constructively in mediation talks, including by complying with the Jeddah Declaration of Commitments to Protect Civilians. We also continue to lead efforts in the UN Security Council to support peace and to keep international spotlight on this crisis.
