What’s Happening in Sudan?
2015 began with new bombings in Darfur, senior UN officials were kicked out of the country and Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir — a man wanted for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity — called for the removal of all UN peacekeepers.
In addition to the ongoing crisis in Darfur, forces under the command of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir are carrying out attacks against civilians in the disputed Abyei territory and the states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile.

The Growing Conflict
Abyei, South Kordofan and Blue Nile states are located on the border between Sudan and South Sudan. Many people who fought for the South during the civil war live there and are increasingly under attack.
Abyei
According to the 2005 peace agreement, the disputed region of Abyei was to hold a referendum on whether it wanted to join an independent South Sudan or remain part of Sudan. However, in May 2011 Sudan invaded Abyei, displacing over 110,000 civilians and leading to the deployment of a UN Interim Security Force of 4,200 peacekeepers. The referendum still has not been held and 48,000 people remain displaced.
South Kordofan and Blue Nile
According to the North-South peace agreement, two Sudanese states bordering South Sudan were supposed to carry out popular consultations about how they would fit into a new Sudan. However fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and rebels broke out in 2011. Since then, the government of Sudan has launched attacks in civilian areas including targeting churches and schools as well as in fields essential for growing crops.
Tell Sec. of State Kerry: Protect the People of Darfur
Sudan's president, Omar al-Bashir, the same man responsible for genocide in Darfur has continued his attacks on Darfur and expanded his killing into the states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile – slaughtering men, women and children and displacing hundreds of thousands of people.
Throughout its offensives, the Sudanese government continues to commit war crimes and crimes against humanity against its own civilians. The people of Darfur, South Kordofan and Blue Nile need you to take action. Now.
We can not stand by and watch as Bashir gets away with murder. Please tell Secretary of State John Kerry to stop looking the other way as Bashir continues to wage war against the people of Sudan.
