For the past seven years, armed conflict between government forces and armed rebels in Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile continues to take place despite a declared ceasefire. In 2016, government forces and allied militias attacked civilians in villages and other populated areas in ground offensives and aimless bombing. The government has blocked and failed to agree terms for access from the humanitarian agencies from working in rebel-held areas of Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile.

Fortunately, the independence of South Sudan occurred in 2011 despite a boycott by several parties that opposed this decision (Human Rights Watch 2016).
