Lyn Brown, the Shadow Minister for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, has raised an urgent question in Parliament regarding the UK government's response to the imminent mass atrocity risks in El Fasher, Sudan. More than a million civilians are under immediate threat, with evidence of ethnic cleansing by RSF forces. Brown emphasized the need for the UK to take stronger action and work with international allies to de-escalate the situation. The opposition expects the UK’s collective voice to be heard clearly and urgently to protect civilians as atrocities are underway. Other MPs and organizations, including IBVprev, have echoed the call for immediate and decisive action.
#Ethiopia and #Sudan are the most dire human rights catastrophes this decade, yet don’t receive the attention they deserve from the international community. Watch my remarks at this week's @HouseForeign #Africa hearing calling for urgent action in #Tigray & Sudan ⬇️ https://t.co/CWXTd55oNj

This is so right from @lynbrownmp Our government must consider serious and rapid options for protecting civilians, with over a million under immediate threat in El Fasher. International partners must urgently convene and use all their power to stop the ongoing mass atrocities. https://t.co/kTReNSo30c

More than a million civilians are under immediate threat in El Fasher, Sudan. Today I brought the Government to Parliament to press them towards stronger action. Our voice needs to be heard loud and clear in the very hours when this atrocity is underway. https://t.co/8ApQTUc56p
