The Earl of Sandwich

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What representations they have made to the Sudanese and Egyptian governments on the Sudan Government's continuing bombing campaign in the south of Sudan. [HL764]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

Our Ambassador in Khartoum has made our concerns about the aerial bombing campaign clear to the Sudanese authorities. FCO officials have discussed our concerns with the Egyptian Embassy in London. We will continue to urge both sides in Sudan's civil war to return to the negotiating table and agree a comprehensive ceasefire.
