"The drone struck once, then came back again, hitting those who were already wounded. My family was happy I survived. They thought I would die."
"Life is not the same anymore. Sometimes, I walk down to the nearby market, but mostly, I'm just stuck at home."
"The current conflict dates back to 2011, when fighting intensified after the area around the Nuba Mountains was excluded from the political settlement."
"The SPLM-N was founded that same year to represent the Nuba populations' demand for self-rule, reflecting the long-standing grievances of the region."
Hassan Koko, a community health worker in South Kordofan, survived a drone attack that killed his colleagues. The attack left him with a metal object in his knee and significant emotional trauma. The Nuba Mountains have faced ongoing violence from Sudan's Armed Forces since 2011, following the exclusion of the region from South Sudan's political settlement. The SPLM-N was formed to advocate for the Nuba populations' self-rule, highlighting the deep-rooted grievances of over 50 ethnic groups in the area.
