(18) Recent offensive operations in South 
Kordofan and Blue Nile by Sudanese Armed Forces 
have led to significant and increasing flows of refu-
gees to Ethiopia and South Sudan, and on Novem-
ber 10, 2011, reports by the United Nations indi-
cated that aerial bombardment by the Sudanese 
Armed Forces was used against a refugee camp in 
South Sudan. On January 24, 2012, UNHCR again 
condemned an air raid carried out at a refugee tran-
sit site located within South Sudan. 
(19) Reports of cross border ground attacks by 
Sudan into South Sudan, aerial bombardment inside 
South Sudan and the increasing presence of Suda-
nese military forces close to the border between 
Sudan and South Sudan are provocative acts that 
raise tensions between the two countries, increasing 
the risk of a military conflict and the aggravation of 
the humanitarian crisis. 
(20) During 2011, the United Nations docu-
mented that over half a million people had been dis-
placed as a result of violence in Darfur, South 
Kordofan, Blue Nile, and Abyei. 
(21) There is sufficient evidence to conclude 
that the Government of Sudan and persons con-
trolled or supported by the Government of Sudan
