The Nuba in Crisis

Posted on

The Islamist government of Sudan uses food and medicine as more potent weapons than bombs and bullets. A recent humanitarian update from the Southern Kordofan/Blue Nile Coordination Unit reported that there are severe food shortages in the war-torn Nuba mountains. The heavily Christian counties of Buram, Heiban, and Umdorein are especially affected. The Nuba have…

GO(a)T MILK?

Posted on

The contested Nuba mountains region of Southern Kordofan is home to Sudan’s largest Christian community. Since 2011, a humanitarian blockade and seasonal military offensives by Khartoum’s Islamo-fascist regime have led to a humanitarian crisis and widespread famine conditions. Right now, the beleaguered Christian community in the Nuba mountains is facing its worst crisis since war…

Standing Firm

Posted on

Recently, the PPF team was in Sudan’s Nuba mountains again. The rains had begun, and the whole country was turning green. Thin cows and goats were busy gorging themselves on abundant grass, and new life was seen everywhere. In every community we passed, whether in the valleys or on terraced hillsides, people were out plowing…

The “Mechanics of Ministry” to the Persecuted

Posted on

A big challenge with trying to help our persecuted brothers and sisters in Sudan is that so many live in very remote and hard-to-reach areas.

Safe Water Update: 77 More Safe Water Wells!

Posted on

In early April, PPF’s Emergency Well Repair Team in Sudan’s Nuba mountains reported that they had completed the 77th repair of the year! This number is significant, because it was the initial goal PPF set for all of 2017. But barely into the second quarter of 2018, our team blew past this number. Our repair…

Sudan’s Silent Killer

Posted on

The Islamist’s Ultimate Weapon For more than a year, the skies over the war-torn Nuba mountains of Sudan have been mostly quiet. The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) ground troops have also shown little mobilization. Part of the reason for this is that the SAF has been increasingly pulled into the war in Yemen, allied to…

The Children’s Issue

Posted on

When Persecution Project writes about “Active Compassion for the Persecuted,” we’re writing mostly about little people. When we report on impending famine conditions, we’re talking about mostly hungry little people. When we speak about a government-sponsored campaign of extermination, we’re talking about the extermination of mostly little people. The embargoed area of Sudan’s Nuba mountains is like most…

Imagine Walking 3 Hours for Clean Water

Posted on

Samia is rejoicing today, because her village borehole is working once again. While it was broken, Samia had to walk for three hours one-way to fetch water in the neighboring village. Because of the long queues, she often had to spend the night away from home while waiting for a turn at the well. After…
