Baroness Chapman of Darlington (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 April 2026

Debate

Sudan

Contribution

I think it would be great to have much more focus globally on the conflict in Sudan and the suffering of the people of Sudan. That includes the public consciousness in this country, because, in the end, that does help force political focus internationally as well. But there is no doubt that the conflict in Sudan is in many ways an expression of disagreements that have emerged elsewhere. The noble and gallant Lord talks about the horn, but obviously in Somalia, Yemen, even across to Iran, we see this instability—it is all connected. It is very poorly appreciated how closely connected these conflicts are. The more we can do to make that case, the better.
