Christians in Bull's-Eye for Airstrikes

Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir is launching new attacks against the mostly Christian Nuba people, according to a new report from Christian Solidarity International USA President Dr. John Eibner.

“Khartoum has habitually responded to rebellion, especially in peripheral Black African and non-Muslim regions, with attacks intended to disrupt civilian communities to prevent them from hosting rebel armed forces,” Eibner said.

Eibner adds that the present tactic in the Nuba Mountains is consistent with how al-Bashir acted towards South Sudan and in Darfur.

“This was done in South Sudan during the late war there. It was done in response to the rebellion in Darfur, and is now being done in the Nuba Mountains in South Khordofan,” Eibner said.

International Christian Concern’s Africa analyst William Stark confirms the attacks and airstrikes.
