History

Although South Kordofan is part of Sudan, it is home to many pro-South Sudan communities, especially in the Nuba Mountains, some of whom fought alongside southern rebels during the long civil war.[7]

In 2009 and 2010, a series of conflicts between rival nomadic tribes in South Kordofan caused a large number of casualties and displaced thousands.

On June 6, 2011 armed conflict broke out between the forces of Northern and Southern Sudan, ahead of the scheduled independence of the South on July 9. This followed an agreement for both sides to withdraw from Abyei.[8][9] On June 20, the parties agreed to demilitarize the contested area of Abyei where Ethiopian peacekeepers were deployed.[10] Abyei is currently controlled by the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei.[11]
