Sudan: Peace Negotiations
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the role of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development as a broker in the recently attempted Sudan peace talks in Djibouti.
- Answer
-
The UK supports African-led efforts to seek peace and stability within Sudan, including the mediation efforts of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD). We welcome the IGAD Summit on 9 December where members called for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Sudan. The UK continues to work with Quad countries (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, US, UK), regional partners, IGAD, the African Union and the UN to bring the warring parties together and secure an end to hostilities, unfettered humanitarian access and ensure the protection of civilians.
