Nuba's struggle for survival

April 29, 2012 - Al Kanyard, Nuba Mountains, South Kordofan, Sudan: General view of a an house destroyed by Sudan's Army warplanes in the village of Al Kanyard. Two children and an adult died during the bombardments and other three suffered severe burn injuries. 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.
