Bible College is Bombed in Sudan

Tragedy has struck Sudan yet again. On Feb. 1, a Samaritan’s Purse Bible College in Sudan was bombed. Eight bombs destroyed the Bible College, and thankfully no one was injured. The attack is believed to have been led by Sudanese military forces.
The people living in Teiban ran to the Nuba Mountains to stay alive. It is believed the purpose of the attack was to strike fear in the people living on the border of Sudan and South Sudan.
The United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, strongly condemns this attack, as the Bible College was funded by an American non-governmental organization. On Feb. 1, Franklin Graham, CEO and President of Samaritan’s Purse, said in an interview with Fox News that he believes the United States should be involved in Sudanese affairs.
Many believe this was an act of ethnic cleansing from the Sudanese government. Since the Jul. 9, 2011 referendum, which took place to bring peace to both Sudan and South Sudan, the southern region of Sudan has experienced harsh conditions. The only refuge for the people of southern Sudan is the Nuba Mountains.
The Sudanese have not seen signs of a better life, especially on the border between South Sudan and Sudan. Many civilians live in terror as they are continuously attacked and people are being displaced all over Sudan.
