Question 15461 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Christophe Marion alerts the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the conflict which has ravaged Sudan since April 2023 and which constitutes one of the most serious humanitarian crises in the world, with millions of displaced people and civilian populations caught between the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The MP welcomes France's constant position in this conflict: humanitarian commitment important and protection of civilians; support for the resumption of a democratic transition interrupted by the coup d'état of October 2021; attachment to the unity and territorial sovereignty of Sudan; desire to support the country towards a civilian government resulting from free and transparent elections. The MP welcomes the fact that France refuses any equivalence between the FSR, responsible for documented mass crimes, in particular in Darfur, and the government in Khartoum, which remains the de facto authority of Sudan. However, the MP questions the concrete consequences of the status of de facto authority that France attributes to the Sudanese authorities. While several European countries have established full diplomatic relations with this country, does this position not risk depriving France of direct diplomatic channels with the actor who, whatever or the outcome of the conflict, will be central in any process of stabilization, reconstruction and democratic transition? While a visit by the French and German foreign ministers was announced at the end of the Berlin conference, the MP wishes to question the minister on the conditions which would make it possible to normalize diplomatic relations with the government in Khartoum, including through accreditation. reciprocity of ambassadors. In a context marked by the centrifugal and secessionist ambitions of the RSF, with potentially serious consequences for regional stability, the fight against terrorism and the control of migratory flows, would such recognition not be a strong political signal in favor of the unity of Sudan? He wants to know his position on the subject.
