On the evening of September 1, 2011, around midnight, the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) attacked the residence of Blue Nile State Governor Malik Agar. This initial attack was quickly followed by a full scale invasion and aerial bombardment of multiple locations in Blue Nile State. The result is yet another NCP-manufactured humanitarian crisis in the Blue […]
On August 4th, 2011, the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa held an emergency meeting to discuss the ongoing attacks by the Khartoum government against the people living in the Nuba Mountains of Southern Kordofan, North Sudan. Persecution Project Foundation President, Brad Phillips, was a key witness in providing testimony of the atrocities being committed […]
The following is a very important article written on June 24, 2011 by Elizabeth Kendal of Religious Liberty Monitoring (http://elizabethkendal.blogspot.com/) regarding the current war in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan in Southern Kordofan State. We have received permission to reprint it in full. PPF’s Brad Phillips and Matt Chancey just returned from a 12-day journey […]

That same day, South Sudan will mark its independence and inauguration as the world’s newest nation. This comes following fifty […]
Void: An empty space. What I just witnessed never happened. You won’t read about it anywhere in the news. No one is talking about it. Yet I just returned from seeing the biggest humanitarian crisis going on in Africa today… and most of the world is doing nothing about it. Several weeks ago, I wrote […]

By Brad Phillips As I write these lines from Nairobi, Kenya, I am envisioning what things must look like back home in the States. Doubtlessly, small towns are putting out Christmas decorations. People are taking down the lighted reindeer lawn ornaments from their attics. Retailers are pulling out all the stops to lure consumers in […]
