Well into the slaughter in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains, the White House, State Department, and mainstream media finally got around to writing about what is taking place (only they always refer to it as South Kordofan, the Arab colonizers’ name for this African region). Various statements have deplored the violence and urged both sides to stop fighting. “Both sides” refers to the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) of the National Congress Party regime (a.k.a. National Islamic Front) in Khartoum, including its affiliated Popular Defense Front (PDF), a militia formed of Misseriya Arabs, otherwise known as the Al Qaeda of Sudan, and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA), that is fighting to defend the citizens of Nuba Mountains from their own government.
