Nuba struggle for survival

April 28, 2012 - Buram, Nuba Mountains, South Kordofan, Sudan: A group of Nuba people rests under the shade of a tree before continue the three to four day journey to a refugee camp in the neighbor South Sudan. Thousands of people have in the past months fled the bombardments and hunger in South Kordofan...Since the 6th of June 2011, the Sudan's Army Forces (SAF) initiated, under direct orders from President Bashir, an attack campaign against civil areas throughout the South Kordofan's province. Hundreds have been killed and many more injured...Local residents, of Nuba origin, have since lived in fear and the majority moved from their homes to caves in the nearby mountains. Others chose to find refuge in South Sudan, driven by the lack of food cause by the agriculture production halt due to the constant bombardments of rural areas. (Paulo Nunes dos Santos/Polaris)
