- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he is taking steps to support the (a) operation and (b) continuation of BBC World Service’s emergency pop-up Arabic radio service for Sudan.
- Answer
-
We strongly value the work of the BBC World Service in promoting our values globally through its independent and impartial broadcasting.
We welcome the BBC's decision to launch an Emergency Radio Service for audiences in Sudan. This will ensure that those in Sudan will maintain access to accurate news and impartial analysis from inside and outside of Sudan, serving to counter disinformation. It will also ensure individuals have access to information about developing events and access to supplies and services.
