Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the United Nations' concerns that the government of the United Arab Emirates has been funding or supplying Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.

The UK supports an immediate end to hostilities, both for the sake of Sudan's people, and to avoid risks of spillover into the wider region. We continue to support the international community's efforts to reach a ceasefire and work towards a civilian political transition. The UK welcomes the UN Panel of Experts' report on Sudan and expects all countries to comply with existing UN sanctions. We continue to work closely with partners in the UN Security Council to enforce these.
