Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 4 March 2008.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he has received reports of clashes between the Misseriya and Dinka in Southern Kordofan.
We are aware of clashes between the Misseriya and Dinka tribes in South Kordofan which the UN Mission in Sudan has attributed to disputes over land access, grazing rights and migration. Through the Department for International Development, we are funding a stability assessment in South Kordofan and governance capacity-building programme (implemented through the UN Development Programme) to improve institutional capacity to respond to such disputes and deal with returning internally displaced persons.
