Bombardment on Nuba Mountain: the video
The bombing on Sudan has
restarted. The video we are publishing shows what happened yesterday Sunday
November 17th, when SAF (Sudanese Air Force) has bombed the Buram
village, in the Nuba Mountains. The village has been raided intensively, and
practically burned down.
A few days before this, El
Abassiya has been raided by SAF. Following what Radio Dabanga has
declared, during an air raid on El Abassiya in the Nuba Mountains, a
primary school has been hit. A military plane of SAF has dropped 3 bombs on 'Dar
es Salaam' school in
the Umm Marha village, which is in
the western part of El Abassiya. The number of deaths is
not sure, on the radio they talk about 15 people, of whom
at least 5 children dead and 20 children wounded.
Contemporary, a new frontline
has opened in another strategic area of the region, which has pushed thousands
of civilians to flee from Jebell Marra, where SRF and Sudanese militias are
fighting.
The air raids have been
confirmed also by UNAMID (African Union-United Nations mission in Darfur), which
has collected information on the air raid from fleeing civilians.
From the beginning of 2013,
over 140,000 people have fled from Western Sudan. After 10 years from the
beginning of the conflict, Darfur is still the biggest humanitarian crisis in
the world, and still keeps being ignored by the international community, despite
the embargo on weapons established in 2004 and the UN mission in the
territory.
