Sudan: Reconstruction

Asked by Wendy MortonConservativeForeign, Commonwealth and Development OfficeTabled Answered 25 November 2025UIN 91354

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what progress her Department has made in supporting Sudanese civil society and political groups to prepare for a transition to civilian rule; and how that support is being coordinated with regional and international partners.

Answered by Chris Elmore

As the Foreign Secretary said in her statement to the House on 18 November 2025, "it is crucial that ultimately we have a transition to a civilian administration in Sudan..." Our Special Representative for Sudan and officials in the UK regularly meet with a wide range of Sudanese civil society and diaspora groups to listen to their concerns and help to build an inclusive, united approach for transitioning to a civilian-led government once a lasting ceasefire is in place.
