Sudan Footage

Sudan Footage Sudan analyst Julie Flint went to the SPLA-controlled village of Kauda in Sudan's Nuba Mountains to investigate the recent fighting in that area. The Nuba peoples live in central Sudan, but many of them fought for the south in the 22-year civil war. Their ethnic differences and political loyalties have made many of the Nuba, victims of targeted violence by government troops and militias.
