Question 6323 — foreign policy

Summary

Ms Dieynaba Diop draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the alarming situation in the Darfur region of Sudan, already marked by decades of violence. Humanitarian access has become extremely limited, or even impossible in some areas, due to persistent insecurity. Humanitarian actors warn of famine situations, collapse of health services and violence systematic attacks, particularly against women and children. 12.6 million people have been displaced since April 2023 according to the United Nations. The risk of genocide, particularly against the African populations of Darfur, is regularly mentioned by certain NGOs and researchers. In recent days, the situation has deteriorated further. The town of El-Fasher is besieged by the military militia of the Forces of rapid support (FSR) for several months, worsening the delivery of humanitarian aid, further endangering civilian populations. Faced with this emergency situation, the international community, including France, has a crucial role to play in providing emergency humanitarian aid. However, conditions on the ground, including persistent violence, insecurity and restrictions imposed by some local authorities, make the delivery of aid particularly complex. Also, the MP would like to know what measures France, in collaboration with its international partners, is implementing to guarantee safe, rapid and unhindered access to humanitarian aid in the Darfur region. She also wishes to know if France plans to increase its diplomatic engagement, in particular with neighboring countries. of Sudan and the African Union, in order to collectively respond to the humanitarian emergency and prevent wider destabilization of the Sahel region and the Horn of Africa.
