Satellite imagery and a video from the mobile phone of a Sudanese soldier shows that the Sudanese armed forces are continuing to commit crimes against humanity in the Nuba mountains, according to activist group the Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP).

The video shows a teenager being tied up in a truck by Sudanese security forces while a village erupts in flames in the background.

The SSP stated that the video shows Sudanese police, army and militia forces attacking the village of Gardud al Badry in South Kordofan.

John Prendergast, co-founder of the Enough Project, a partner in the SSP, stated,

"We are seeing a repeat of Darfur without the international witnesses,

"Capturing the burning, razing, and looting of Gardud al Badry on video and in satellite imagery adds to mounting, and undeniable, visual evidence of a pattern of indiscriminate attacks and destruction by the government of Sudan against its own people."

"Through this campaign of targeted violence, which amounts to crimes against humanity, and its denial of humanitarian access, the government of Sudan is displacing thousands of civilians and contributing to insecurity in the region."

The video shows the teenagers interrogators waving rifles in the air exclaiming,

"With this flame we extinguish the burning sedition in South Kordofan. By God, we will not give away an inch of our land.''

A follow up interview with the teenager, who was later released, is also included in the video where he states,

"While they were beating us they called us 'rebel' and when we told them we're not rebels they beat us and some of them kicked us."
