Nuba Now Campaign

ABOUT OUR CAMPAIGN

Omar al-Bashir’s government is waging a brutal mass-killing mission against the people of South Kordofan. As Sudan’s army fights anti-government rebels, an estimated 1 million civilians, mainly from the Nuba Mountains region, suffer from daily air strikes that threaten their lives and prevent them from growing crops. The situation is fast becoming one of the world’s greatest humanitarian crises BUT the international community has barely responded.
