question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what role armed militias play in enforcing Sudan’s commitments under the Khartoum Process; whether they are being used to enforce border controls and to capture migrants; and what action the regime took, under its commitments in the Doha Document for Peace, 2012, to disarm militias.

uin	HL2339
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2016 answer text <p>We are concerned by the reported use of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) to tackle migration in Sudan and have raised these concerns with the government of Sudan, most recently during the visit of the UK Special Representative to Sudan and South Sudan in September. We have also made clear that our cooperation on migration will necessarily be guided by our human rights principles. The EU has also raised the role of the RSF with the government of Sudan and has made absolutely clear that no funding aligned with the Khartoum Process will be provided to them.</p><p>The government of Sudan has undertaken some of its disarmament commitments under the Doha Document for Peace in Darfur (DDPD), but together with our international partners we continue to urge them to do more. The UK is a member of the DDPD's Implementation Follow-Up Commission (IFC), which we use to press for progress on disarmament and other areas of the DDPD's implementation. The most recent meeting of the IFC was in May 2016.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 26/10/2016 15:01:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>Together with troika partners, the British Government has been clear in its assessment that Sudan’s recent elections cannot be considered a credible expression of the will of the Sudanese people. We remain committed to supporting those Sudanese people who wish to peacefully advance a comprehensive and legitimate political process towards ending the conflicts and towards long-term stability in Sudan. To this end, we will continue to engage with the Government of Sudan, not least to raise our concerns around the ongoing conflicts and their impact, as well as migration and human rights, among other issues.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/07/2015 13:00:26 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL868
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>Whilst there is no formally agreed international strategy on Sudan, we work closely with likeminded partners in the Troika (the US and Norway) and the EU and to pursue a coherent approach. This is reflected in public statements such as those issued by the Troika and the EU during Sudan’s recent elections. The international community, including the UK, continues to invest significant resources in supporting and protecting the people of Sudan, for example through the African Union-UN Hybrid Peacekeeping Mission in Darfur. In addition, the UK is a leading humanitarian donor in Sudan, with the majority of the Department for International Development’s £47 million programme in 2015-16 focussed on the provision of humanitarian assistance.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/07/2015 13:03:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL886
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2015 answer text <p>The UN–African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) continues to follow the fighting in the Jebel Marra region. This is reflected in recent reports of the Secretary General on Darfur, which note reports of aerial bombardments in villages north of Golo in January 2015 as well as troop movements around Golo during March. However, UNAMID’s ability to fully investigate has been hampered by access restrictions – an issue that the UK has raised repeatedly in the UN Security Council and with the Government of Sudan.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/07/2015 13:10:28 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2015 answer text <p>We are deeply disappointed with the lack of progress on National Dialogue in Sudan since it was announced by the President in January 2014.

We welcome recent pledges by the Government of Sudan and Sudanese opposition groups to participate in a “pre-dialogue” meeting.</p><p>We continue to support the voluntary sector.

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the escalation of the conflict, including sexual violence targeted at women, in Darfur over the past 12 months; and what assessment they have made of the outcome of investigations into reports of mass rape in Tabit earlier this year.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL5780
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2015 answer text We remain deeply concerned by the continued escalation of conflict in Darfur that has resulted in over 40,000 newly displaced persons so far in 2015. Reports of widespread sexual violence, including Human Rights Watch’s investigation into the events in Tabit, are deeply disturbing. In my press statement of 13 February I reiterated our call for a full and independent investigation into what happened in Tabit and unfettered access for the African Union-United Nations Hybrid Mission in Darfur, as well as for humanitarian agencies to provide assistance. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 25/03/2015 14:26:32 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
