HC Deb 12 June 1996 vol 279 c196W
32. Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the current situation in Sudan. [30876]

Mr. Hanley

Sudan continues to suffer from the long-running civil war. There is little sign of willingness to make progress towards a negotiated solution, although Her Majesty's Government continue to urge this upon all concerned. The human rights situation continues to give us grave cause for concern, as does Sudan's hospitality to terrorist groups. We are watching closely for firm evidence that Sudan is complying with Security Council resolutions 1044 and 1054.
