The Islamic Sudanese government has been accused of killing the people of the Nuba Mountains, in a region that is 30 percent Christian. They have been accused of these systematic killings before, in the 1980’s and 90’s, and now they’re at it again. Although the U.S has been called in to help, there is still not enough awareness of the injustices going on. Brad Phillips, founder of Persecution Projects Foundation which has been working in Sudan since 1998, has had this ministry petition President Obama with something called Save the Nuba. They have been getting many signatures on their website for this petition to let the government know about the killings, so that they can protect the innocent people, both Christians and ethnic Nuba peoples being targeted. We hope that Phillips’ petition will come to the attention of the government, so that these people can be safe.
