Shane Moynihan (FF), Dublin Mid-West

Before the summer, I raised with the Taoiseach the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe that is happening in Sudan, the fact that over 150,000 people have been killed and almost 14 million people have been displaced. Ironically, of all the conflicts in the world at the moment, the conflict in Sudan seems to be the one that has the most unanimity among European Union members. Therefore, I would call on the Taoiseach, while welcoming the recent renewal of the sanctions against members of the RSF regime in Sudan at the Council meeting in September, to say what we will be doing to further advocate for the people of Sudan and surrounding countries on the need to bring that conflict to an end, working with the African Union to assert its leadership role in the region and to ensure, in a conflict where the European Union has a united voice, that we can avoid the devastation of the thousands of people being killed and the millions being displaced and the fact that once vibrant cities such as Khartoum are now burnt out shells.
