lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, Sudan’s partition into two states was supposed to end decades of conflict blighting that country. However, this has unfortunately not proved to be the case with both countries still suffering the acrimony from internal conflict and persisting border disputes. The international community must do more to support the two countries working with both Sudan and South Sudan, and, of course, the regional institutions, to help resolve the border dispute and improve human rights in terms of security and personal dignity in both countries. The immediate humanitarian and security situation must be addressed and combined with genuine longer—term solutions. Most pressing is the issue of the removal of punitive tariffs placed on trade. The liberalisation of these rules will not only do far more to support development and the chronic needs and daily lives of people in Sudan, South Sudan, and indeed Africa as a whole, but will also help our own citizens through cheaper food and freeing up money which would otherwise go on foreign aid, which is not always ending up where it aims to be sent. The Horn of Africa is a tragedy, but there are some good parts of it not – not least Somaliland and I, as you know, am a long-time advocate of support of international re-recognition of Somaliland. I do not think that the issue of Sudan and South Sudan needs to be a precursor or a hurdle to the genuine aspirations of people in a different part of the Horn of Africa who have led a far different, and a far more peaceful and dignified, example."@en1
