All parties need to find a peaceful solution to the complex underlying causes of these incidents.</p><p>Inter-communal clashes between farmers and herdsmen in Nigeria, over land, farming rights, grazing routes and access to water have a devastating impact on lives and communities.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2017 answer text <p>Whilst we have seen a welcome reduction in armed conflict between Government forces and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), the security and humanitarian situation remains fragile in the Two Areas (South Kordofan and Blue Nile), and we continue to monitor the situation closely. We engage regularly with the Government of Sudan and opposition groups to promote conflict resolution in Sudan, most recently during a November visit, with his Troika counterparts, by the UK Special Representative for Sudan and South Sudan.</p><p>We welcomed the signing of the African Union High-Level Implementation Panel (AUHIP) Roadmap Agreement by the Government of Sudan and the Sudan Call alliance of opposition groups. However, we are disappointed that since the signing of the Roadmap, no progress has been made. We urge all sides to return urgently to the negotiating table so that steps can be taken towards a permanent ceasefire. I raised this issue directly with the Government of Sudan during the fourth round of the UK-Sudan Strategic Dialogue in October.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 05/12/2017 15:56:52 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
