A former senior official at the United Nations that the aerial bombardment and ground attacks carried out by government forces in southern Sudan, "Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile," targeting civilians as well as armed rebels have longer such as war crimes.

He said Kabila, who returned to Sudan this month he toured for ten days in areas controlled by the rebels in the states of South Kordofan and the Blue Nile Alsudanatin incidents on the border with southern Sudan and found evidence of violations is such ethnic cleansing systematic.
He told Reuters in an interview, "What happened in the last two years ... is mainly used for the same methods that have been used in Darfur, with the difference that in the period since then, improved techniques of war."
Sudan's government insists that its troops did not commit any war crimes, but says the rebels create enough chaos in South Kordofan and the Blue Nile and accused of committing serious violations.
He asked Rabie Abdel Ati, a senior member of the ruling National Congress Party in Khartoum declined to comment on the findings Kabila said she absolutely incorrect, adding that the government's responsibility is to protect civilians.
The armed rebellion broke out in South Kordofan and the Blue Nile about the time when the South Sudan independence in 2011.
Kabila said he was on his tour that stretched 1,000 kilometers in the southern regions saw burnt-out villages and craters caused by bombs away from combat zones. He added that the government bombing was a blow to agriculture and cause severe food shortages and forced hundreds of thousands of civilians to flee.
Sudan's government has banned shipments of aid, although it has signed an agreement on the aid with the United Nations and the rebels in August. Khartoum has said it needs guarantees for possible aid deliveries before being allowed to enter.
Kabila said that 2.5 million people do not have access now only limited humanitarian assistance or do not have access to assistance at all.
He said Kabila, who is now a special representative for the Aegis Trust, which works to prevent genocide, "This is the biggest disaster in the world in terms of human rights."
"The methods they use to indicate the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity with the presence of circumstantial evidence they committed on ethnic grounds."
He urged the international community to use diplomatic isolation and economic sanctions to force Sudan to allow humanitarian aid to reach the border areas controlled by the rebels.
Kabila, who was outgoing UN envoy in 2004 speaks in Juba, the capital of southern Sudan, which broke away from Khartoum under the terms of the agreement put an end to the civil war in 2005.
The rebels have fought in South Kordofan and Blue Nile against the North in the civil war in what was known as the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Sudan - north sector within the Southern rebel army.
Kabila warned that the violence in South Kordofan and Blue Nile could reach levels similar to what happened in Darfur and said he should be investigated for crimes committed in those two states
