	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2017 answer text <p>Boko Haram have led a brutal campaign of violence against civilians in the Lake Chad region. UK assistance is designed to help those affected, and assist Nigeria and its regional partners to tackle the threat. During their visit to Nigeria last week the Foreign Secretary and the International Development Secretary saw firsthand some of the support that the UK is providing. The conflict in the region requires a comprehensive response, tackling the threat posed by Boko Haram and the humanitarian crisis through the full range of security, political and humanitarian, and in the longer term, development work. The UK is a lead player, providing a substantial package of military, intelligence and development support to Nigeria. This includes training for the Nigerian armed forces and £5 million for the Multinational Joint Task Force, the regional force tackling Boko Haram. The UK was one of the first donors to respond to the humanitarian crisis in North East Nigeria and we have scaled up our support from £1 million in 2014 to £100 million this year. During their visit the Foreign Secretary and International Development Secretary announced an additional £200 million of humanitarian aid over the next four years.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 08/09/2017 11:32:54 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2017 answer text <p>We remain deeply concerned by the violence in the Central African Republic (CAR). Despite political progress in 2016, and good co-operation with the international community from the CAR government, the security situation outside of the capital city Bangui is deteriorating. This is having a heavy impact on the civilian population with thousands killed and tens of thousands displaced in 2017 alone. We are aware of United Nations (UN) Under-Secretary General Stephen O'Brien's report, which suggested that CAR is presenting &quot;early warning signs of genocide&quot;. It is true that the violence in CAR is often divided along religious lines, however, social, economic and political factors have been the primary drivers. We continue to call on the CAR government to implement the National Plan for Peacebuilding and Recovery, and will also be addressing, with our international partners, the human rights and humanitarian problems in CAR at the UN Human Rights Council later this month.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 08/09/2017 11:42:13 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
