widespread human rights violations, including mutilation, torture, rape, the abduction of civilians, the use of child soldiers, and a number of massacres. In recent months there has been an increase in violent incidents across provinces of southern Sudan, especially near the Ugandan border. "Everywhere, people are being killed" including at least one church leader, said Bishop Daniel Deng Bul Yak in remarks aired by Radio France International (RFI), monitored by BosNewsLife. "This is why we are appealing to the United Nations and governments in the world like the U.S. Germany and Norway. They should come in now, so that peace can be implemented like it was written." There has been concerns that militants of LRA and other groups in the south of this predominantly Islamic country try to disrupt a peace agreement that ended 20 years of civil war. Analysts say rebel groups may try to expand their territory as a bargain chip ahead of further talks.

"Sudanese Christian leaders request our prayers that the bereaved will know the comfort of Jesus" and that the "wounded and traumatised will know the healing touch of Jesus," while the "displaced will know the Father's provision," said MEC in a statement to Worthy News and its partner agency BosNewsLife.

MEC added that local believers have also urged prayers for church leaders, national and international peace efforts and that those responsible for the latest bloodshed will renounce violence. Christians, who comprise just about 18 percent of Sudan's mainly Muslim population of nearly 39 million people, are increasingly in the crossfire as many of them abandoned Islam, rights groups say. "There is still great pressure on Muslims who choose to follow Christ," explained Open Doors, a group supporting Christians facing difficulties because of their faith.

Islam calls for war to defeat All infidels worldwide and then enslave survivors as 2nd class citizens and overtax them. These are the type of people the American leftist marxist peoples woo and love, much as they love all dictators and depravity and anarchy.

The Sudanese Christians are very brave. God bless them and keep them, strengthen them, and answer their prayers.

Notice that the article speaks of intervention by the US and other nations to restore the peace that the Muslims continue to want to disrupt.

Will our current administration hear their cries and do anything to help stop the bloodshed and atrocities?

God will help them but I am sure Obama and Hillary will be turning the other way ignoring the pleas for help.
