The US will take a “big interest” in the war in Sudan, because “failed countries become a haven of Jihadist extremist activity”, David Lammy has said.

The Foreign Secretary confirmed he had had “a brief conversation” with incoming US secretary of state Marco Rubio about the conflict in the region.
