The UK High Commissioner in Nairobi raised these concerns directly with the Kenyan Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs on 8 November and emphasised the important role Kenya has to play in resolving the crisis in South Sudan and in providing security to ordinary South Sudanese through their participation in the peacekeeping force. The UK Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan discussed this issue with regional partners on 10 November in Kampala and our Mission to the UN in New York has discussed this with other Security Council Members and troop contributing counties. We understand that UNMISS are now looking at contingency plans.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/11/2016 16:46:57 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
