The British Government acknowledges the links between the RSF and the Sudanese Armed Forces, including the hosting of RSF personnel at Sudanese Armed Forces facilities, but seeks where possible to avoid active engagement with the RSF.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 16/11/2018 13:09:45 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

The Rapid Support Forces formally joined the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) in January 2017, and their graduation ceremony therefore took place during the parade under the auspices of the SAF, although this had not been made clear in advance.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 06/11/2018 13:23:53 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
