Humanitarian and Human rights situation of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) and
war affected civilians in the SPLM/N controlled areas of South Kordofan/Nuba Mountains
&Blue Nile states.
Sixth issue, six monthly report
January June 2015

Displacement of civilian population in the Nuba Mountains

An overview:
The conflict that started in June 2011 between the government of Sudan and the Sudan peoples
liberation movement/North in South Kordofan/Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile marks its fourth year. The

fighting between GoS and the SPLM/A-North has affected the life of more than one million
Sudanese citizens living in the two States. The ground fighting between SAF and SPLA-N,
coupled with the continuous intensive aerial bombardment from SAF Antinov and MIG fighters
provoked the displacement of around 500,000 people, either IDPs or refugees in South Sudan
and Ethiopia. The indiscriminate aerial bombardments and long-range shelling target

non-

military facilities, destroying houses, farms, markets, buildings, injuring animals and killing
innocent civilians. Insecurity has reduced the access to the cultivable land and affected the
capacity of people to farm and as a consequence the level of food insecurity increased in the
last four years.In early December 2014,January 2015 the Sudan government launched its
decisive dry season offensive until early June in South Kordofan and Blue Nile without any
significant gains on the ground. Negotiations on the Two Areas have been suspended with no
indication they will resume anytime soon. security in the republic of south Sudan significantly
affects movements along the borders with South kordofan and Blue Nile,The last chance round
of talks of South Sudan's warring rivals that was started on March 3rd 2015 once more failed,
despite the eventual agreement with the G10 political detainees. disagreement on power sharing
and security arrangements derailed the peace process.the Regional bloc IGAD set March 5th
2015 deadline for the government of South Sudan and rebels to reach a final peace agreement
an ultimatum that has never been met
This sixth SRRA six monthly report covers the period of January-June 2015. It is intended to shed
light over the conflict in South Kordofan/Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile States between the
SPLM/A-N and the Government of Sudan and its humanitarian and human rights consequences.
It brings regular and detailed information on the effect of the conflict for the IDPs and vulnerable

citizens in the two areas. This report is based on assessments and observations jointly collected
with national NGOs from refugees and IDPs in the two states. Notwithstanding the obvious
difficulties involved in obtaining information from the conflict zones, the various teams of the
SRRA on the ground, including local NGOs who were trained and deployed throughout the
controlled areas , are working hard to bring accurate data and make visible the scale of atrocities
and the suffering that civilians in South kordofan and Blue Nile are facing. A lot of effort on
capacity building is still needed in order to do regular, efficient and more professional reports.
The security and human rights situation in the Two Areas.
The Sudan armed forces(SAF) and SPLM/N ground attacks.
During the period January-June 2015,Active hostilities and ground attacks escalated in South
kordofan and Blue Nile states in response to the Sudan governmnets declared Decisive dry

county in Blue Nile state .These offensives have resulted in displacement of more than 39000
people around kadugli and Elhadra in delami county and 6000 people within the SPLM/N

forcibly relocated by the government from Musfa and Dereng village (Baw county) to Alashid
Afandi IDPs camp in the South-western part of Damazin. It is believed that around 150-250 families
or roughly 1500 persons arrived in the camp. At least 15 trucks were spotted in the operation.
Local actors confirmed that more people were relocated from Naurania and Moreg village in Baw
county to Almadina, in Rosaires county, but exact numbers were not confirmed. Local informants
reported that due to harsh weather conditions, with heavy rains and wind, the situation of the
displaced is unacceptable, as people are left without shelter
Aerial bombardments.
During January-June 2015 SAF conducted 135 air strikes in South kordofan and Blue Nile using
high altitude Antinov planes,Sokhoi

and jet fighters dropping an approximate total of 613

bombs.the tracking of the strikes is as tabled below Widespread indiscriminate aerial


bombardment conducted by SAF, mainly using Antinovs flying at high altitude, has been a
permanent feature of the conflict. At least 75 civilians are reported to have been killed, and 98
injured mostly women and children. The bombing also damaged farms and property, including
schools,mosques and churches , as well as killing and injuring livestock.during the reporting
period SAF has been found using cluster bombs by an international human rights organization.
The indiscriminate nature of the bombing continues to cause fear and trauma amongst the
population, preventing normal daily life such as cultivation or travel to water sources and health
clinics.These records are likely to represent only a small proportion of all bombings, deaths and

injuries as they are not systematic given the difficulties in collecting information in a large active
conflict zone.

Destruction of local
loc markets in Blue Nile
There
here have been reports of heavy shelling by SAF as well, including
ding of predominantly civilian
areas, especially during ground attacks around kadugli ,Diling and Baw county
county. Preliminary
reports have recorded countless shells,
hells, which have killed and injured civilians and destroyed
houses.

Aerial bombing trend in Blue Nile in the period January-June 2015

Aerial bombing of schools


The relentless bombing of civilian targets in South Kordofan and Blue Nile, is wearing away the
capacity of civilians to survive. The bombings sow fear among the civilian population and
discourage them from tending their fields. The attacks, combined with the deaths of livestock an
and
destruction of crops on which the population depend to survive along with the obstruction of
humanitarian assistance, appears to be a deliberate tactic to force the population to flee their
areas of origin.
New displacements and trapped civilians
Intensive
ve aerial bombardments and ground attacks during the last four years have culminated in
wide spread internal displacement of the population in south kordofan and Blue
Blue,there are nearly
1396761 people in conflict-affected
ffected areas of South Kordofan , Nearly 98003 in Blue Nile State, an
estimated 466630 civilians have
e been forced from their homes to other host villages in the Nuba
Mountains and a total of 528323 vulnerable population.in Blue Nile an estimated 79550 have
been internally displaced and a total of 88781 vulnerable persons.
The Sudan armed
d forces offensives during January and may 2015 displaced so many people
peo
in
Rashad,Abbasya and kadugli counties,it
counties, is estimated that there are over 39000
000 new internally

displaced persons until end of june 2015,the displaced populations to date face desperate
situations in terms of food,medical supplies,water and shelter.

During may 2015 SAF troops ground attacked,looted and burnt shatt village of kadugli
county displacing nearly 20000 people.

The heavy fighting in Elhadra in delami county between SAF and SRF displaced 6000
people to Al abyad in delami county.

During march 2015 the SPLA/N was on offensive,targeting kalogi,Alrahmanya and Habila
and a s aresult of the attacks nearly 23000 people were displaced to government
controlled areas.

Adding significant numbers of new IDPs includes 2500 from keiga and nearly 950 from
Ngarto North of talodi.The expanded military confrontations between SAF/ RSF and SPLAN in Alabasya and Rashad counties and around kadugli during may are adding significant
numbers of new IDPs.

In Blue Nile Massive movements within the SPLM/N controlled areas and from refugees camps in
Maban county/South Sudan, due to shortage of Food in the refugee camps and tense security
situation among the host Community and fears among the refugees for SPLM-IO attacks continues.
Some more refugees move to SPLM/N controlled areas to look for gold and earn some money in the
areas of Yabus balla and Abengaro. During may SAF attacked,burnt and looted magensa,abu garn

and Bagis villages in baw county nearly 6000 persons out of the 10000 residents were displaced
and exposed without food and shelter. 24000 more people were forcibly relocated to Eldamazine. An
estimated population of 98000 people remains inside Blue Nile SPLM/A-N controlled nearly 79550

The humanitarian consequences of the conflict in the Two Areas.


Areas
Humanitarian situation in South kordofan.
The intensified aerial
ial bombardments during January and may 2015 had a distinct negative impact
on the essential agricultural activities in the harvesting season and on food security as a
whole,despite the relative good harvest of this year except the poor harvest in heiban county
thousands of internally displaced persons
person in Delami ,Rashad,Elabasaya
ashad,Elabasaya and Western kadugli
counties were food insecure.the
the majority of health facilities had limited medical supplies and trained
medical personnel,the education environment is poor,educational materials are scarce, and the
majority of voluntary teachers are not trained,most of the bore holes need repair,
repair,the priority needs
are food,medical supplies and education.the

overall humanitarian
an situation in south kordofan/N
kordofan/Nuba
Mountains is as follows:-

Displacement of civilians from Nuba Mountains cross


oss border to South Sudan
Health:

Shortage of drugs, equipped facilities and qualified personnel remain critical concerns for war

affected populations in the SPLM-N held areas of the Nuba Mountains. Areas particularly affected
include the counties of Western Kadugli, Al Buram, Um Dorein, Dalami, Alabasiya and Rashad.
shortage of access to health services remains critical in the western Jebels, The western part of the
Nuba Mountains is completely cut off from health services especially in the Lagawa area, where
most people are using local remedies that are not always safe. Very Few cases of measles and
meningitis were reported late May in Heiban county. two in Farandalla and two in Gidel health

Water and Sanitation.

The rainy season has increased the availability of water but clean water remains scarce in all the
SPLM-N held areas The increasing number of displaced households continues to add pressure on
the existing water sources throughout the SPLM-N controlled areas and the need to repair water
pumps remains imperative. According to data provided by the SPLM-N South Kordofan Secretary
for Engineering Affairs, Water Resources and Minerals, more than (573 out of 1395) water pumps
are not functional, 73 out of the 104 water yards are not operational, 3 out of 35 dams are damaged
and only 9 out of the original 46 hafirs are functional. Shortage of access to drinking water remains
the biggest challenge in the western Jebels, where borehole repair activities is limited. Until end of
June an NGO plans to repair 25 in delami,197 in Heiban,57 in Buram,67 in umdorein and 97 in
western kadugli, the need to repair broken hand pumps and water yards, alongside the training of
local people for sustainable locally managed maintenance of water points, remains a priority.
Education.
Lack of basic education services remains a critical problem with more than 179 primary schools
lacking of school materials, trained teachers and adequate facilities.students continue to sit for kenya
certificate for primary education in the Nuba Mountains with arrangement challenges. All schools are
supported by communities and teachers work on voluntary basis through the Support of a local
NGO. In Western Kadugli no schools are functioning since the beginning of the war in June 2011,
due to insecurity.kurumba secondary school has recently opened by skills for Nuba Mountains with a
total intake of 60 students.the education statistics is as follows:- School enrolment and teachers in
the Nuba Mountains

In the western side of South Kordofan/Nuba Mountains, including Lagawa, Dilling, Alsonut and
Habila counties, the situation remains fairly stable, with no reported displacement and no frequently
reported aerial bombing or ground attacks affecting civilians.almost all residents in the western
counties of south kordofan suffer from limited access to medicine which Is available only from cross
line markets, a lack of functional health clinics,the widespread breakdown of water points, a lack of
access to spare parts, high local food prices resulting from cross line trade, limited seed availability,
and lack of animal health inputs to treat livestock diseases. Prices for basic food commodities have
reportedly increased quite sharply towards the end of June 2015 due to limited movements of
traders to peace markets as a result of onset of rains.
Humanitarian situation in Blue Nile.
The household food security, medical supplies and support to education remains the biggest
challenge facing resident and IDP households all across the SPLM-N controlled areas in Blue Nile.
Both resident and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) , The significant challenge is the extreme
shortage of food and seeds for cultivation before the current distribution of food and seeds by an
NGO, People lived on roots collected from forests. the low productivity is partly due to destruction of crops by
insects and absence of farmers from farms for long times in fox holes and the forests for fear of aerial
bombardments, The number of hunger related deaths is expected to increase if no immediate humanitarian
assistance is given to the people in the area. populations in Blue Nile continued to depend on locally

operated markets for food and basic commodities .the humanitarian situation in Blue Nile can be
highlighted as follows:Food security:
The rainy season has started earlier than normal this year in Blue Nile. Cultivation has started in the majority
of villages where security and agricultural inputs and tools are available . Food availability remains scarce in
the war affected areas, especially among the Koma Ganza people in southern Yabus, and in most of Chali
and Wadaka payams Food shortages and lack of adequate shelter continues to affect populations affected
by ground fighting between SPLA/N and Sudan armed forces especially around Baw county in ingessena hills
nearly 6000 households have been reportedly attacked,burnt,looted and exposed from their villages by SAF
During May 2015 and 1500 more have been forcibly relocated to damazin during June2015 ,recently an NGO
has distributed food and seeds targeting 40000 (6667 households) covering most urgent needs for three
month.this distribution has relatively destabilized the food insecurity.

Health status
Health.
The health system in Blue Nile has been severely affected by the war, with few clinics available, a
limited supply of drugs, shortage of medical equipments, and insufficiently trained or unqualified
health personnel Access to health care is a major concern for most households in the SPLM-N
controlled areas. There are only eight functioning clinics in the area, but often lack drugs, trained
personnel, incentives and equipment. These local facilities are in very poor condition .The capacity
of the 8 functional local health clinics(3 in Wadaka, 1 in Chali Alfil and 4 in Yabus payams) to provide
appropriate diagnosis and treatment to local populations across SPLM-N controlled parts of Blue
Nile is occasional by some NGOs and decreasing. The absence of vaccination for children since
2011 is one of the highest issues of concerns expressed by the authorities.
Water and Sanitation.
Water availability has improved given the early onset of the rainy season. The quality of drinking
water remains extremely poor.Access to clean water continues to be reported as a serious highest
humanitarian challenge in Blue Nile , A recent assessment conducted by CU monitors revealed that
a significant number of boreholes need repair. In Chali payam, 15 out of 43 pumps are broken and/or
contaminated, in Wadaka 20 out of 35, in Yabus 13 out of 40. The four water yards in Tanfona,
Mofu, Chali Al-fil and Yabus Kobori are broken since 2011.
Education:
Additional schools have been opened in Blue Nile making a total number of 17.however, the schools
available do not meet the needs of the population and more assistance is needed. Schools lack
trained teachers and lack of incentives, Classrooms are congested or the classes meet under the
trees and material is scarce affecting the quality of the education received for the students. The
authorities are yet to implement the recommendations of the education conference that was held
during April 2015.the schools are currently closed until November 2015.
Expanding refugee crisis.
Refugees from Blue Nile in Maban county-Upper Nile state.
The conflict in south sudan has aggravated the situation of Blue Nile refugees in Maban county,insecurity in
the SPLM/N held areas of Blue Nile has also encouraged movement of populations to the refugee
camps,relatively food distribution has improved,also over twenty primary schools operate with limited
materials and trained teachers,regular return of refugees was also observed due to shortage of food in the
camps as well as the tension between the refugees and the host community and the circulated rumours of

attacks by SPLM-IO.insecurity in Upper Nile especially frequent attacks on malakal has also limited road
access to refugee camps.An estimated 172828 have moved from Blue Nile due to ground attacks and aerial
bombardements to South Sudan and Ethiopia nearly 131091 have crossed to South Sudan and have taken
refuge in maban county of Upper Nile state 50038 in Doro,40148 in Yusif Batil,21860 in kaya and 17923 in
Gendarassa.41737 more are in Ethiopia camped in Tango,Bambasi,sherkole and Ashura.This is according to
the latest records of UNHCR and the refugee community administrations.

The refugee camps of Yida and Ajoung Thok In Unity state.


The daily aerial bombardments and ground attacks in South kordofan/Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile
in the last six months have expedited ex-flux of the populations especially the internally displaced
persons (IDPs) to neighbouring South Sudan and Ethiopia.The security situation for the Nuba
refugees in Unity State continues to be tense with the host community basically on cattle raids and
restrictions of the authorities to allow refugees collect firewood and grass outside refuge settlements.
The number of arrivals from South Kordofan to the camp of Adjoung Thok, in search of food, security
and education, has increased ahead of the rainy season .in the Meanwhile refugees have started to
relocate from Yida to Adjoung Thok. The population in Yida decreased to 66,540 with ration cards
and over 2,000 without ration cards. The population in Adjoung Thok increased to about 26,000, with
another 17,000 being expected to arrive over the coming months . the UNHCR plan to relocate 50%
of refugees in Yida to Pamir is still underway. The refugees and their representatives insist they want
to be relocated to Gumriak, which is considered more secure and further from the border between
Sudan and South Sudan. Refugees in Yida camp have decried the insufficient distribution of food
and NFIs, especially plastic sheets and mosquito nets that are particularly important with the
beginning of the rainy season during June. 350 students continue schooling in Yida community-run
secondary school with 13 Kenyan teachers. 15,911 students are enrolled in the six primary schools,
and 4,423 in the 27 pre-unit schools. The lack of international / UNHCR support for education in Yida
camp continues to be an issue of paramount importance for the Nuba community . nearly 3000
refugees from Kau nyaro and werni are trapped in kodok/upper Nile contested by the SPLM-IO and
they remain without formal assistance.
The political negotiations between GOS and SPLM-N.

The resumption of AUHIP facilitated peace negotiations in Addis Ababa during November 12th to 18th
2014 provided some early and small indicators of positive movement towards a cessation of
hostilities and possible progress for improved humanitarian access; however as the talks
progressed, it became evident that the Government of Sudan SPLM North remained as far apart
as ever on a political agreement to end the conflict in South Kordofan (SK) and Blue Nile (BN)
States. Both rounds of talks that have taken place between the belligerent parties in November 2014
have failed to reach any significant progress on negotiations of humanitarian access in the Two
Areas. Despite the AUPSC resolution of

12th

September 2014 of the 456th meeting that

negotiations on cessation of hostilities, immediately leading to a comprehensive security


arrangements agreement, should resume at the earliest opportunity, under the auspices of the
AUHIP. expectations were high that the November talks could produce an agreement on cessation
of hostilities or ceasefire that would have allowed for humanitarian access as well as moving toward
a more inclusive national dialogue process. The positions of the two parties were divergent and were
unable to bridge these differences.The talks between the Government of Sudan and the SPLM-N
resumed again, as expected, on 5th December and continued for three days. The negotiations
adjourned without any progress towards an agreement. The AUHIP ended the 9thround of talks
between the GoS and SPLM-N indicating that the panel will consult bilaterally and invite the parties
for another round of negotiations, expected to be early in January 2015. However,Negotiations on
the Two Areas have been suspended with no indication they will resume anytime soon. AUHIP
issued a press release on April 1st 2015 that The Panel was disappointed that the pre-Dialogue
meeting could not be held as planned in Addis, On the other hand ,the Sudan government held its
elections in April 13th 2015 which was widely boycotted by the Sudanese,the IGAD monitoring team
estimated that only one third of the registered were able to vote,the Troika (USA,UK and Norway) as
well were not happy with the outcome of the elections. The Darfur peace track also started in Addis
Ababa on 23rd November 2014 providing for an opportunity for one peace process with two tracks
facilitated by the AUHIP aimed at ending war in the whole of Sudan. The Darfur talks adjourned on
27 November without agreement on the agenda.a Sudan call declaration was however signed
towards the end of December as an unprecedented political declaration between SRF ,Umma party
and the coalition of the civil society.

Appeal to the international community.

The human rights and humanitarian crisis in South Kordofan/ Nuba Mountains , Blue Nile and Darfur
require immediate attention and response: there are clear national and international legal obligations
to act. The SRRA appeals to the UN Security Council, the UN Secretary General, the

Chairman of IGAD, the chair of the AUHIP, the African Union and the international community at
large to:
1. Ensure that the humanitarian situation and vaccination of children in Nuba Mountains/Sothern
Kordofan and Blue Nile is given priority in any upcoming direct talks between the GoS and the
SPLM-N.
2. Declare the situation in Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains/ South Kordofan as a humanitarian
emergency that requires urgent response from all actors.
3. Require the Government of Sudan to lift restrictions on delivery of food and other humanitarian
items and to permit UN agencies and independent international organizations immediate free and
unhindered access to the needy civilians in the SPLM/N controlled and GOS controlled areas of
Nuba Mountains/ South Kordofan and Blue Nile States and Darfur to stave off mass starvation.
4. call for resumption of talks between the government of Sudan and SPLM/N to agree to a
cessation of hostilities with regional and international monitoring mechanismto allow delivery of
humanitarian assistance and polio vaccination to the populations and children in the war zones.
5. Urge both parties to protect civilians under their respective control and provide safe corridors for
the passage of civilians and humanitarian goods.
6. Consider the most effective means, including airdrops, to access civilians trapped by ground
attacks and lack of roads.
7. Demand that the SAF immediately halts its indiscriminate aerial bombardments and air strikes
against civilian targets in South Kordofan/ Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile states and Darfur.
8. Urge that relevant national and international authorities conduct independent investigations into
allegations of summary executions and detentions and torture on the basis of ethnic and political
affiliations in South Kordofan/ Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile states and Darfur.
9.Release of all political prisoners and assure the continued safety of those in the opposition.
