Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what investigations have taken place following the aerial bombardments and attacks on civilians in Golo, in Jebel Marra district in Central Darfur, since January.

The UN–African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) continues to follow the fighting in the Jebel Marra region. This is reflected in recent reports of the Secretary General on Darfur, which note reports of aerial bombardments in villages north of Golo in January 2015 as well as troop movements around Golo during March. However, UNAMID’s ability to fully investigate has been hampered by access restrictions – an issue that the UK has raised repeatedly in the UN Security Council and with the Government of Sudan.
