ABSTRACT

The stories related in the interviews leave little, if any, doubt that the Government of Sudan (GoS) was intent on doing everything in its power to destroy the fabric of life in the Nuba Mountains in the late 1980s and early to mid 1990s. Based on its actions in the Nuba Mountains at that time (then in Darfur between 2003 to the present, and once again in the Nuba Mountains from early June 2011 through today—February 2015), there is ample proof that when the GoS moves to subdue a rebel group or stanch a rebellion, its modus operandi is not simply to target the rebels but to target the civilian population as well, including infants, children, women, and the elderly.
