House of Lords written question – answered at on 2 June 2008.
asked Her Majesty's Government:
What representations they have made regarding the recent fighting in Lower Juba in Somalia and the subsequent displacement of hundreds of Somali Bantu families.
We are aware of reports of fighting earlier this month in Lower Juba. We have not received information on any displacement of civilians from the area that the fighting may have prompted.
We strongly condemn the use of such force and call on all Somalis to renounce violence and commit to a peaceful political process of dialogue, reconciliation and nation-building.
