Crisis in Sudan
The motion
That the Parliament notes the protest held on its grounds on 11 June 2019 by the Sudanese Uprising Supporting Group, a coalition of Sudanese nationals supporting the pro-democracy movement in Sudan; shares its condemnation of the actions of the Transitional Military Council, specifically the Khartoum massacre committed by the Janjaweed militia on 3 June 2019; calls on the UK Government to apply diplomatic pressure on the Transitional Military Council to immediately hand power over to a civilian-led government; further calls on the UK Government representative on the Security Council to push for activating the UN Security Council Resolution 1556 of 30 July 2004, which calls for disarming the Janjaweed militia and bringing its leaders to trial for crimes against humanity in Darfur; believes that human rights abuses must stop, and supports the Sudanese people’s quest for democracy after enduring military rule for 30 years.
