Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential for success of the latest cease-fire in South Sudan.

​The UK strongly condemns the violations of the Agreement to a Cessation of Hostilities committed by all parties, including the Government, since it was signed on 21 December. We are working with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development to ensure that the Ceasefire and Transitional Security Arrangements Monitoring Mechanism is able to access areas where potential violations of the Agreement to a Cessations of Hostilities may have taken place, and that they report on these in a timely manner.
