Sudan: Protection of Civilians

Baroness Brown of Silvertown Excerpts

Tuesday 4th November 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Brown of Silvertown (Lab)]

We all know that part of the problem in Sudan is that what is going on is being funded by outside actors who have their own skin in the game and their own political and economic motivations. Can the Minister assure me that we are using our position to put pressure on those who are funding this outrageous war on the people of Sudan by these generals, and that we are doing everything possible to diminish that funding?

[Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)]

It is the people of Sudan who are paying the price for this. I can assure the noble Baroness that we use every lever we can to put pressure where it is needed. Anybody who has any influence over either side has a duty and responsibility to use it to bring about a negotiated solution.
