answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2021 answer text <p>We are concerned about the security situations in the Sahel (including Burkina Faso and Mali), North East Nigeria and the wider Lake Chad Basin, and in the province of Cabo Delgado in Mozambique. Insecurity continues to have a tragic impact on people living in these regions. We regularly discuss issues of insecurity with our counterparts in each region. In January, I met Burkinabe President Roch Marc Christian Kaboré to discuss the security challenges in the Sahel and their impact on the people of Burkina Faso. In March and April I visited Cameroon and Nigeria respectively, where I discussed issues of insecurity with the Foreign Ministers of both countries. Lord Ahmad reaffirmed UK support to help Mozambique fight terrorism when he spoke to the Mozambican Foreign Minister in March, and I also raised Cabo Delgado when I spoke to the Foreign Minister in February.</p><p>The UK Government is providing security assistance to regions affected by insecurity. This includes through our recent deployment to the UN peacekeeping mission in Mali (MINUSMA), our support to the Multinational Joint Task Force, a regional force coordinating military efforts and security in the Lake Chad Basin, and in Mozambique under the framework of a Defence Memorandum of Understanding. We also support those worst affected by conflict through our humanitarian assistance. For example, in North East Nigeria, our lifesaving support will reach more than 1.5 million people over five years (2017-2022).</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 10/06/2021 13:57:00 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

uin	11566
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2021 answer text <p>We are concerned about limitations to access to telecommunications in Tigray. Some humanitarian agencies have reported a recent improvement in the numbers of satellite phones and radios they have been allowed to import into Ethiopia. However, this is not across the board and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in particular note ongoing challenges. Internet access remains very problematic with NGOs, for example, reliant on services provided by the UN.</p><p>We continue to call for improved access to communications in Tigray as vital for an effective humanitarian response and in shining a light on the grave human rights atrocities that continue to be committed there.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 10/06/2021 13:54:08 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

We work through our High Commission, as well as international organisations, to promote non-discrimination towards LGBT people, and to address discriminatory laws. We are deeply concerned by the recent arrest of 21 LGBT activists in Ho in May and we are seeking further details from the government about the arrest.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 07/06/2021 16:58:06 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
