A NOTE ON ALLEGATIONS OF DELIBERATE BOMBING OF CIVILIANS IN THE SUDANESE CONFLICT:

The issue of Sudanese air force bombing of targets within the ongoing war in southern Sudan, fought between the government and the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA), has, in recent years, been focused upon by several governments, non-governmental organisations and the media.
