Retaliatory accusations site support of rebel factions, using all the resourses available in the modern media age, and whilst opposing forces continue to clash in the border states of South Kordofan and Blue Nile, stalling an anticipated agreement, many claims of collusion must be accepted with caution.
High profile interventions by celebrities such as George Clooney do a good job of putting Sudan on the international radar, most recently with reported incidents of clashes in the Nuba mountains, but it is only when trusted sources such as Aiden Hartley get involved that we can sit up and listen.
Hartley has been reporting from conflict zones for over 20 years and recently found himself in Sudan's Nuba mountains surrounded by Khartoum's military forces for over 2 weeks. The propeller-drone of roving Antonovs searching out random targets has in his words become a 'signature tune' of the conflict which he has no reservations in calling a war, and one in which after years of experience made him truly scared.
Aiden Hartley is a welcome visitor to Warrior Security on his occasional trips to South Sudan, and in our opinion his reporting can be relied upon without question. His recent reporting appeared in the 31st March edition of The Spectator http://www.spectator.co.uk/ where he writes a regular column called Wild Life, and a documentary Unreported World, on the war in the Nuba Mountans broadcasts on the UK Channel 4 at 7.30pm on 13th April.
