Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether the Government provides (a) financial or (b) technical support to the Sudan Call group of opposition organisations in Sudan.

Although the British Government does not provide any financial or technical support to the Sudan Call alliance of opposition groups, we engage with them regularly in Khartoum and the UK to encourage them (as well as the Government) to return to the negotiating table and make progress at the peace talks mediated by the African Union High Level Implementation Panel.
