The Bishop of St Albans received the following written answer on 5th June 2025:
The Lord Bishop of St Albans asked His Majesty’s Government what recent discussions they have had with (1) the Sudanese Armed Forces, and (2) the Rapid Support Forces, about the ongoing conflict in Sudan.
Lord Collins of Highbury (Lab, FCDO): As part of ongoing efforts to push for an end to the conflict in Sudan, the UK engages with both the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Senior officials including the FCDO’s Director General for Africa, the Americas and Overseas Territories, the UK’s Special Representative to Sudan as well as the FCDO’s Africa Director have each recently travelled to Port Sudan including in both the lead up to, and aftermath of, the 15 April London Sudan Conference to meet with key members of the SAF, including General Burhan. In these engagements, UK officials have continually pressed the warring parties to agree to a permanent ceasefire, to allow unrestricted humanitarian access, to protect civilians, and to commit to a meaningful peace process.
