Sudan: Armed Conflict

(asked on 2nd May 2023) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what action they are taking to reduce the supply of armaments to the parties engaged in conflict in Sudan.


This question was answered on 17th May 2023

There is a longstanding UK arms embargo in place for the whole of Sudan, as well as a UN arms embargo on Darfur. These sanctions help prevent weapon flow into the country and stop those working against peace in Sudan. The UK is pursuing all diplomatic avenues, including through multilateral organisations, to end the violence and de-escalate tensions in Sudan.
