The Sudanese conflict in South Kordofan and Blue Nile, also referred to some media as the Third Sudanese Civil War, is an ongoing armed conflict in the Sudanese  southern states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile between the Army of Sudan (SAF) and Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), a northern affiliate of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) in South Sudan. Fighting broke out in the lead-up to South Sudan independence on 9 July 2011, starting in South Kordofan on 5 June.

Nuba Berge, Westfront, Sudan. Das Gift des Krieges - in den Bergen des Sudans kämpfen die Nuba für ihre Freiheit. Eine beim Donu Bergrücken liegendes Dorf ist Tagsüber fast eine Geisterstadt. Nur eine Frau verkauft ein paar Tomaten und Lemonen. The Sudanese conflict in South Kordofan and Blue Nile, also referred to some media as the Third Sudanese Civil War, is an ongoing armed conflict in the Sudanese  southern states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile between the Army of Sudan (SAF) and Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), a northern affiliate of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) in South Sudan. Fighting broke out in the lead-up to South Sudan independence on 9 July 2011, starting in South Kordofan on 5 June. The conflict is intertwined with the War in Darfur, since in November 2011 SPLM-N established a loose alliance with Darfuri rebels, called Sudan Revolutionary Front (SRF). As of October 2014, some two million people have been affected by the conflict, with more than 500,000 having been displaced and about 250,000 of them fleeing to South Sudan and Ethiopia. The SAF is also accused to use bannend Clusterbombs against civilians, as well as chemical weapens in the fightings against Nuba rebells.

Nuba Berge, Sudan. Das Gift des Krieges - in den Bergen des Sudans kämpfen die Nuba für ihre Freiheit. In der Trockenzeit sind die Flüsse staubtrocken.
