Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with the European Union and African Union about violence in Sudan, basic freedoms there, the promotion of national dialogue, peace talks and the formation of a transitional government, and the case for postponing Sudan’s forthcoming election until those other issues are addressed.


This question was answered on 26th March 2015

We regularly discuss human rights, peace talks, National Dialogue and elections as part of our dialogue with our EU colleagues and the EU Special Representative for the Horn of Africa. On 7 February 2015, a joint EU statement collectively called for the immediate release of all political detainees and expressed the EU's commitment to freedom of expression and political participation. We continue to engage with the African Union, in particular with the Chair of the African Union High-level Implementation Panel, President Mbeki, and his work to mediate agreements on both the Darfur and Two Areas conflicts that would end fighting, allow humanitarian access, and pave the way for a comprehensive and inclusive National Dialogue process.
