Sudan: U.N., Aid Group Allegedly Targeted in Blue Nile Bombing
Posted by Laura Heaton on Sep 23, 2011
Within hours of the Satellite Sentinel Project’s warning about a
possible pending attack on the town of Kurmuk, there is a report
indicating that the U.N. mission and compound of Save the Children
were targeted in a government bombing campaign. According to a
spokesman for the opposition SPLM-North, quoted by AFP, an Antonov
bombed the town, which is under SPLA-N control. The Enough Project
could not confirm the attack or the targets but will attempt to
substantiate through satellite images and sources on the ground the
details of what allegedly occurred. In response, Enough’s Co-Founder
John Prendergast said:
Not only are innocent civilians being indiscriminately bombarded,
which is a war crime, but government forces are also trying to remove
all forms of humanitarian aid to rebellious areas. The regime intends
to starve out the opposition, committing yet another crime against
humanity.
