Associated Press North Sudan forces commit war crimes, group says Associated Press, 05.29.11, 06:30 AM EDT
JUBA, Sudan -- An advocacy group says satellite images provide evidence that northern Sudanese troops have committed war crimes, including ethnic cleansing, in the contested border town of Abyei where the forces took over more than a week ago.
Satellite Sentinel Project said Sunday that satellite images by DigitalGlobe show that Sudan Armed Forces burned about one third of all civilian buildings in the north-south border town.
The group said the evidence is being conveyed to the International Criminal Court and the U.N. Security Council.
Northern forces seized control of Abyei town on May 21 after attacking southern troops that were there as part of a joint security unit.
Actor George Clooney urged the U.N. to protect civilians in Abyei, saying the north's takeover was meant to disrupt the south's upcoming independence.
