Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 6 December 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what discussions she has had with (a) the UN and (b) the government of Sudan on the introduction of peace-keeping forces into the East of the country.
The Eastern Sudan Peace Agreement was signed by the Government of Sudan and the Eastern Front in Asmara on
Following the signature of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) maintained a presence in eastern Sudan to monitor the withdrawal of the Sudanese People's Liberation Army from the area. UNMIS withdrew once this process was completed earlier this year.
Since the signing of the peace agreement there has been no reports of major violence in the area and neither side has requested the introduction of a peace-keeping force. This issue, therefore, is currently not a priority for our discussions with the UN and the Government of National Unity.
