Friends report civilians in South Kordofan continue to be bombed regularly
by their Khartoum based government. They say "jets come early in the
morning, bomb Kauda airstrip, then bomb the nearby mountains. They are
followed later by the Antonovs, which loiter and drop more bombs."
People flee into the mountains early each morning and return to their villages late in the evening, for fear of the
bombing. Children cannot go to school and people cannot plant crops. Recently Antonovs have also been heard at night, causing new trauma. The plea from Nuba people is for the international community to stop the aerial bombing- a no-fly zone is
the dream of the people on the ground.
