Nuba Mountains

However, you may need to think about it.

Maybe by the end of these lectures, you will find that there's another way." And I can tell you right now, that student has gone back to the Nuba Mountains and is training his peers to walk the path of nonviolence.

He has started an organization, and I'm very, very proud of him that he managed to find that path and not only walk it, but he's walking the path with his friends.

Now, my own understanding of nonviolence is really based on the Beatitudes, the call to live the Beatitudes.

More than 150 churches have been damaged.

In the Nuba Mountains, where most of Sudan's believers live, the killing of pastors has become a pattern.

Just last month, an Episcopal pastor was shot and later died of his wounds.

Another church leader was abducted, and seven Christians were found executed along a road.

So it is really hard.

But we just deal with them in, uh, by the grace of God.

In recent news, there was a story, uh, where in the Nuba Mountains, which is sort of an epicenter, th- there was just last month, I think, a, a pastor who was killed, another was abducted, and seven believers were executed along the road.

Uh, is this, is this the chaos of, of war, or is there a, a clear targeting of Christians on the part of, of Muslims?

In Darfur, over a period of 10 years, they killed 300,000 people.

And then in the Nuba Mountains and that area on the border with what is now South Sudan, genocide.

And that genocide is different from a massacre in a battle or a war.

Genocide is a purposeful plan of a series of massacres that will go on until you have total control.

And so the government in the North put no resources, they didn't build roads, they didn't develop the South, they kept it poor, but they constantly were trying to conquer it and impose Islam.

And so you have a unique thing in Sudan because I mentioned the genocide in Darfur with the genocide from its own government The Muslims in the black African tribes of Darfur were so strong in their belief in Islam, just deeply, deeply committed to Islam, but rejected Arabization.

The genocide in the Nuba Mountains, the same thing, fervent in their belief in Islam, but they rejected Arabization.

And of course, anyone who knows Islam is that God speaks Arabic.

East Sudanid.

Isolated pseudonymed variety of the Nuba Mountains in Kurlafun, Sudan, native to the region at least since the Neolithic, has resisted historic invasions of neighboring types over a long time.

However, eastern and isolated villages, Nylotic, Nyloted, Congolese, and Orientalite admixture is common.
