The UK has registered deep concern at the limitations on the Sudanese people's right to freedom of expression and at the violence used by the Government of Sudan in response to peaceful protests.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) the political situation in the North African Maghreb, and (2) the impact of further instability in that region on UK interests, in particular the impact on migration, counter-terrorism, energy security, and security in the Mediterranean.

uin	HL12892
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2019 answer text <p>Since 2011 progress has been made in furthering the democratic transition across the North African Maghreb. Nevertheless we recognise the importance of underpinning stability by enhancing political and economic inclusion of all citizens. We are alive to the regional threat of terrorism and regularly engage with our Maghreb partners, both at ministerial and official level, to support efforts to address security challenges, ensure political and economic stability, and manage migration. We are working with our regional partners to support ongoing reform processes, and to boost trade and investment, including through programming valued at more than £20 million this financial year. These programmes have provided support in areas such as governance, security, human rights, economic reform and border security.</p><p>Further information on our North Africa programmes is available on the gov.uk website.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/01/2019 14:51:52 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether the ceasefire brokered by the UN on 18 December 2018 in and around Hudaydah in Yemen continues to be adhered to by all sides.
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL12894
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2019 answer text <p>The UN-brokered ceasefire in and around Hodeidah is broadly holding, but we are conscious that confidence between the parties is low. The ceasefire is an important step towards peace but is by no means guaranteed. It is vital that all parties act in good faith and take urgent steps to implement agreements made in Stockholm, particularly re-deployment. We regularly discuss with our partners at the UN how best we can support the implementation of these agreements to ensure that the Yemen peace agreements endure.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 28/01/2019 15:43:00 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
