Question on Sudan: Lord ALTON of Liverpool-Thursday May 18 2023
With over 800,000 people joining the 3.7 million people already displaced in Sudan and another 120,000 fleeing to neighbouring countries – some of whom will end up in small boats making dangerous journeys – will the Minister agree to provide a written response to the more than 30 recommendations in the recently published All Party Group report marking the 20th anniversary of the Darfur genocide – in which 300,000 died and 2 million were displaced – and, in the light of this week’s declaration by Genocide Watch of another impending genocide, urgently authorise a formal Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability – JACS – assessment and convene a high level strategic discussion with our international partners to address the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Sudan and to urge on the warring parties the need for a sustainable peace and civilian led government.
