§ Mr. DawsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) what measures the Government are taking to re-establish and support the Chadian-led peace negotiations following the breakdown of peace talks on Darfur, Western Sudan; [148015]
(2) what steps the Government are taking to encourage the Government of Sudan to agree to (a) the presence of international observers at peace talks on the conflict in Darfur, Western Sudan and (b) the inclusion of the Justice Equality Movement and militias at the negotiations. [148016]
§ Mr. MullinWe remain extremely concerned at the humanitarian situation in Darfur. We are in contact with all parties, including the Government of Sudan at senior level, to press for the re-establishment of a ceasefire, preferably with international monitoring, which would permit humanitarian access to those in need and lead to talks about how the problems of Darfur can best be addressed.
