The Sudanese army is shelling and bombing civilians in South Kordofan, Amnesty International said in a report released today, accusing Sudan of committing war crimes in their war against armed militants who demand more rights for the region.
More than 374 bombs, including cluster bombs, were dropped in 67 locations between January and April, killing at least 35 people, Amnesty said in their report.
"War crimes cannot be allowed to be committed with impunity and a population facing a protracted humanitarian crisis can no longer be ignored by the world," Amnesty said.
"The use of prohibited weapons - such as cluster bombs - launched from high-flying aircraft has resulted in civilian casualties," the group said.
