In response to the outbreak of conflict on 15 April, the FCDO created an Enhanced Sudan Unit, bringing together a range of officials with different areas of relevant expertise, to work on the most pressing issues currently facing Sudan. Over the summer recess, the Enhanced Sudan Unit will continue to monitor the situation in Sudan and work with its UK, international and Sudanese partners to bring an end to hostilities, protect civilians and secure unfettered humanitarian access.
