question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their current assessment of the situation in South Sudan; and what actions they are taking to work with religious leaders to promote reconciliation in the current civil war there.
tabling member printed	Lord Boateng
uin	HL4545
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2015 answer text We remain deeply concerned by the situation in South Sudan. Nearly 2 million people have been displaced and thousands killed. We welcome the Inter Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) agreement of 1 February between the parties to the conflict but this needs to be implemented and a transitional government formed. Throughout the peace negotiations we have been clear that any transitional government must listen to the diverse range of voices that exist within South Sudan including the important role that religious leaders can have in the reconciliation process. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 05/02/2015 15:22:52 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
