Documentary: Terror in Sudan
Children living in Sudan’s Nuba mountains watch for government bombers overhead.
Documentary Synopsis:
As George Clooney campaigns against the atrocities being committed in Sudan, Unreported World has filmed extensive documentary footage from the war zone.
Aidan Hartley and Daniel Bogado gained rare access to the Nuba Mountains to film the heroic doctors who are saving children in a largely hidden war being perpetrated on civilians by one of the world’s most brutal dictatorships.
The Nuba Mountains region, in the South Kordofan oil fields upriver from Khartoum, is a troubled part of Sudan where a civil war has continued since the 1980s.
Nuba always fought alongside its southern black African Christian neighbours against the Arab Islamic regime in Khartoum, but the region was left behind in the peace accord that led to the independence of South Sudan in mid-2011.
In June 2011, President Omar al-Bashir’s forces launched fresh attacks against opposition supporters in Nuba, many of them Christians and black Africans.
