<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">According to United Nations officials and aid workers, the northern Sudanese Army has embarked on an aggressive campaign against Kordofan’s Nuban people, many of whom aligned with the southern Sudanese during Sudan’s last civil war.
“They are killing the black people,” said a Sudanese aid worker who just escaped from a bombed village on Wednesday and asked not to be identified for safety reasons. “The northern army is slaughtering people who supported the S.P.L.M.,” the southern-led political party that is active in several parts of northern Sudan.
It was difficult to get a clear picture of what exactly was happening because northern Sudanese soldiers were not allowing United Nations monitors to travel freely in the area and have severed access to many villages, some of them heavily bombed. Anglican Church officials said that the violence was intensifying and that Kordofan could become “another Darfur.” </div></div>
