We also welcome the statement of the African Union of 11 April expressing solidarity with the people of Sudan, a commitment to support them, and that this military take-over is not the appropriate response to the challenges facing Sudan.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 23/04/2019 14:56:05 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
