Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what were the (1) course contents, and (2) objectives of training, given by the UK to the Sudanese Armed Forces since 2016.

The Ministry of Defence did not deliver any training to the Sudanese Armed Forces in 2020-21. Before that date, our objective in providing Defence assistance was to promote peacebuilding and stability in Sudan. As such, the content of our training courses was designed to promote awareness (including through appropriate English language courses) of British military doctrine, of the need for civilian primacy, and of international humanitarian law.
