The ethnic cleansing unfolding in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan doesn’t get much coverage. But once you’ve witnessed it, says Nicholas Kristof, it will haunt you. By Adam B. Ellick on Publish Date July 13, 2015. Photo by Nicholas Kristof/The New York Times.

You’ve heard of Darfur, and you know about the slaughter underway in Syria. But the worst ethnic cleansing you’ve never heard of is unfolding in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, where the government is bombing villages, schools and hospitals and trying to keep out food and medicine.
It doesn’t get much coverage, partly because it’s difficult to get access to. But when you’ve seen these atrocities, they haunt you. So we slipped into the Nuba Mountains through rebel lines to try to document the killings. This video is the result.

[9 other groups] 'The Worst Atrocity You¹ve Never Heard Of'
Kathy,
I just saw this last night.
This is the area I've been returning to the past 4 years. I've traveled
those same non-existent roads, heard the planes, rockets, barrel bombs and
seen the children run to the caves.
Thanks for passing on the story. I wish there was more we could do, but I
guess the first thing is to let more people know about the situation.
Awareness then action.
I hope some action comes soon.

IN THE NUBA MOUNTAINS, Sudan — THE eight children in the Shanta family lived in a village of grass huts and had never turned on an electric light or worn a watch, never ridden a car or even a bicycle, never spoken on the telephone.
Their first real interaction with the 21st century came one February night as they huddled in a foxhole while the Sudanese government shelled their hut. If you want to understand why President Omar Hassan al-Bashir of Sudan should be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court, the Shanta family offers a reminder that Bashir’s atrocities will continue as long as he remains in power.
