As may become clear if you continue reading I'm a doctor, not a writer. I practice family medicine in the US. But the situation I witnessed while volunteering in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan compels me to write and tell the story of what is happening there.
Since May 2011 the people of Nuba have been trapped in the horror of a civil conflict between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement North (SPLM-N). Civilians are subjected to daily aerial bombardment and have been denied access to humanitarian aid. Unable to plant crops due to the of bombing, people are starving, surviving on bugs and grass, and risking death fear to venture outside their caves in search of food and water.
