The Enough Project and Satellite Sentinel Project have released a new report detailing evidence of Sudan carrying out war crimes and crimes against humanity in the South Kordofan and Blue Nile region, and called on the International Criminal Court to further investigate the situation.
The report also calls on the United Nations to "immediately establish an impartial commission of inquiry", adding,
"The international community must do more to investigate the war crimes, crimes against humanity, and torture being perpetrated by Sudanese government forces against their own people. If implemented quickly, a commission of inquiry and the involvement of the International Criminal Court prosecutor could serve as a substantial deterrent force against future violence."

Jonathan Hutson, a spokesperson for the Enough Project and the Satellite Sentinel Project, said,
"Justice demands that the international community investigate evidence of ongoing atrocities by the Khartoum regime against its own people. Consider Congolese warlord Bosco Ntaganda, also indicted years ago for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Many believed he would never be hauled into court. Last month, he surrendered; he is now in The Hague, facing those charges".
