        The UK supports peace and stability in Darfur and a gradual, conditions based flexible withdrawal of UNAMID, driven by the situation and needs on the ground. In December 2018 the UN Security Council adopted Presidential Statement (S/PRST/2018/19) that set out key areas, against which progress is required to ensure a successful transition from peacekeeping to peacebuilding. This includes ensuring that physical property and United Nations team sites are handed over in line with general UN practices, as well as financial rules and regulations. The UK will continue to work with the United Nations and in the United Nations Security Council on this matter.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4210", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-28T16:08:19.173Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Sudan: Peacekeeping Operations"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have asked the United Nations\u2013African Union Mission to halt its withdrawal of peacekeepers from Sudan and the handing over of its camps to the government of Sudan until the current situation in Sudan has been reassessed; and if not, why not.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL13828"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1064182", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1064182/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

        We are aware of reports that estimate the number of people involved in the recent protests in Sudan as in the thousands; figures are difficult to confirm. Protests throughout Sudan have now run longer than any other period of protests in Sudan's history, including those in 1964 and 1985.
