However, it failed to impose a timeline or other conditions. Meanwhile, the Sudanese Armed Forces continues to carry out indiscriminate aerial bombing of these states along the border of South Sudan. Add your voice to a petition calling on the UN to condemn this bombing and allow humanitarian organizations immediate access to these areas.

The security forces began demolishing their homes on 27 June; nearly 300 homes have been demolished and hundreds of people have been made homeless. While Nigeria’s constitution calls for the provision of adequate shelter for all citizens, it is a "directive principle" and not enforceable by Nigeria’s courts. Call on authorites to stop the forced evictions and provide housing for those already made homeless. CJW Tue, 03 Jul 2012 00:00 EST http://www.africafiles.org/article.asp?ID=26513
