أبوبكر صالح .. لماذا يصمت الناس فى المركز, عن قتل أهل الهامش ؟!

Statement by the Sudanese Marginalized Fronts and Organizations Forum
(SMFOM)
Ethnic cleansing in Southern Kordofan/ Nuba Mountains
We, the representatives of the Sudanese Marginalized Fronts and Organizations Forum, strongly condemn the National Congress Islamist government genocidal war on the Nuba Mountain/ Southern Kordofan State. On June 6, the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) backed up by the Popular Defense Forces (PDF) the Islamic militia committed atrocities, including summary executions, wanton killings, arbitrary arrests, torture, arson and disappearances in addition to destruction of physical infrastructure and burning of churches particularly in Kadugli and Diling towns and indiscriminate bombings by Antonov and MIG fighters to civilians. Thousands of civilians were displaced as a result.
The SAF and PDF have committed serious crimes and violation of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Conventions. Further increase in the scale and magnitude of these atrocities may upgrade their classification to ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity and genocide. The security forces targeted the Nuba ethnics by conducting house-to-house search and set up security check-points on Kadugli-Diling road, arresting and/or killing those suspected of sympathizing with the SPLM and leaving populated towns like Kadugli, the capital of Southern Kordofan State, as a ‘ghost’ town.
Southern Kordofan State is now facing a humanitarian disaster due to uncounted numbers of deaths, blackouts and shortages of food supplies and water.
President Bashir and Ahmed Harun, who are wanted by the ICC are leading this war against Nuba Mountain people who are supportive to SLA/SPLM.
We call upon the UNSC, the international community and the free world to intervene and force Sudan government to stop the aerial bombardment, extra-judicial killings and the ongoing atrocities and violations against human rights and protect the marginalized Nuba Mountain ethnicity and enable them to conduct peaceful Popular Consultation as decreed by the Comprehensive Agreement (CPA) and bring the criminals of the National Congress Party to the ICC.
The international community is urged to monitor the passive role of the UN Mission in Sudan (UNMIS) in Nubia Mountain/ Southern Kordofan and the collaboration between the Egyptian and some African units with the Sudanese Armed Forces and NCP security by helping them commit atrocities.
The Sudanese Marginalized Fronts and Organizations Forum calls upon the Sudanese people to unite against the fascist regime of the National Congress Party, aka National Islamic Front (NIF) and bring democracy, peace and unity to Sudan.
