Sudan systematically targeting Nubian Christians

Muslim persecution of Christians grows more common by the day. And the world continues to yawn. "Sudan: 'Sudan Security Systematically Targeting Nuba Christians' - Report," from Radio Dabanga, March 14 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

South Kordofan — "According to HUDO's observation, it is clear that the systematic campaign of the government [of Sudan] is part of a plan targeting the native Nubians. Even the timing is arranged to destroy all institutions that gather Nubians either religious or social as the beginning of implementing the Univision (single Islamic Arabian), denial of Nubian Christians' religion rights and Nuba people's rights to practice their culture or social activities.
This was clear when the government security found no charges to issue against the innocent Nubian church leaders and they began accusing them of Christianization and accessing funds from outside Sudan in illegal ways", says the Human Rights and Development Organization (HUDO).

In the second part of its report HUDO describes the arbitrary arrests, the systematic targeting and the reasons it believes are behind these incidents against the Nuba people. The information provided is based on the agency's own observations on the ground, but also on local reports and on information gathered from various sources....

Since the beginning of this year, Sudanese authorities began systematically targeting different Nuba language and cultural centers, including those of Nuba Christians, the report indicated.

These centers, according to the agency, are outlined below:

- Kuku institute for Nuba language and heritages located in Omdurman: closed on 16 January 2013 by government security authorities (NISS). Its manager was arrested and his laptop and mobile phone were confiscated together with the institute's certificate of registration and other documents. The manager was released under the condition that he reports to the NISS office every morning.

- NINU center for languages and computer science -member of the UNESCO Clubs Union: closed by security authorities on 16 January 2013 without any reason. Note: the UNESCO Clubs Union has different centers working across Sudan and all carry out uniformly certified work. None of them was closed down apart from the NINU center.

- Evangelical Cultural Center library in Khartoum: closed on 18 February 2013 by the NISS. Books, media tools and documents belonging to the library were confiscated. Three people were arrested, including a priest. None of them were yet released.

- Gideon Theological College (GTC) in Omdurman: raided on 24 February 2013 by the NISS. Three Nuba Christians were arrested and released under the condition they report to the NISS office on a daily basis.

- Fellowship of Christian University Students (FCUS) office: raided by NISS on 24 February 2013. Two executive members were arrested; one was released under the condition he reports to the NISS office on a daily basis. The other remains under arrest. On the same day, NISS also raided the FCUS-guest house in another area in Khartoum and confiscated a car belonging to it....

Why is it that Christians are under increasing attack in numerous Mahoundian countries and area's? Is this 'monkey see, monkey do'? Are they getting orders from headquarters? Where and who are 'headquarters'? We know the theory, Quran and hadith, we know the application, jihad...but we don't know where headquarters is...I bet Rehab and Aslan don't even know...
It may be that headquarters is in the sky with Allah, but no one with a telescope has reported seeing it...The Christians in Pakistan and other places, are between a rock and a hard place...It is probably going to get worse before it gets better...

The Nubians need to, while they can, flee to South Sudan and help build that country. In the meantime, South Sudan should expel their Muslims to North Sudan. Do this so that there are no people that the North Sudanese can persecute, nor are there anyone who can sabotage the South Sudanese.

It won't happen, Infidel. Too many South Sudanese families are mixed Christian and Muslim, for a start. And the SS government is crawling after Arab money. And SS has so many Muslim traders from all over Africa.

By the way, ther seems to be confusion about Nubian/Nuban. I guess we are talking about Nuba Mountain people, who have fled the Nuba Mountains for Khartoum. Nubians, from northern Sudan, were converted to Islam long ago.

Sudan systematically targeting Nubian Christians
................................

No surprise here. "Arab" Muslim Sudan has been targeting black African Christians—and, even, black African Muslims, as in Darfur—for decades now.

Religious and ethnic cleansing proceeds apace there, and the outside world only sporadically notices—and *never* connects it to Islam...
