UK Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan: Public Appointments

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government why a replacement FCDO special envoy to Sudan has not yet been appointed and when they expect to appoint one.

Answer

The Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea spends a significant amount of time on efforts to secure peace in Sudan, working closely with other envoys covering Sudan. Our Ambassador to Khartoum - now based in Addis Ababa - also continues to engage with key international partners to press for peace, as do other British Ambassadors in the region.
