Humanitarian groups say Christians and churches are being targeted by aerial bombardment and militias in the Nuba Mountains area of Sudan. Four church buildings have been destroyed in Kadugli since June last year. The latest attack in February killed five members of a single family who belonged to the Episcopal Church of Sudan. Aid workers told Compass Direct that Christians were being targeted to present the continuing conflict in Sudan as a religious war in order to attract support from the Arab world.Sudan split into two nations in July last year, dividing the Arab, Islamic north and the black Christian and animist south. Conflict has continued in disputed areas, including South Kordofan.
