Sudan: Troika denounces Sudanese army’s bombing of civilians in South Kordofan
Members of Sudan’s Troika have condemned the Sudanese government’s aerial bombardment of civilians in Kauda and Heiban area of South Kordofan including the bombing of St. Vincent Elementary School on 25 May.
The rebel Sudan People’s Liberation Movement/North (SPLM-M) said the government warplanes dropped barrel bombs on Heiban area on 1 May, killing six children from one family.
The movement pointed that it filed a complaint to the Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict Leila Zerrougui demanding an official investigation on the Heiban incident.
Also, SPLM-N has earlier said it is making contacts with the French Bar Association to file charges against the Sudanese government on behalf of the victims’ families.
