ICC Note:  Christians in South Sudan are “suffering beyond belief” in the midst of the South Sudanese Civil War according to Franklin Graham.  Graphic reports contend that children are being burned alive and castrated and left to die as a result of all of the violence.   Graham has called upon the Sudanese government and President Omar al-Bashir to end the violence and hostility against South Sudan.  According to Graham, the South Sudanese Civil War was largely instigated by the Bashir-led Sudanese government, which has been long noted for its history of human rights abuses, especially against Christians.

7/10/15, South Sudan (CP) – The Rev. Franklin Graham noted Thursday that the country of South Sudan marked its fourth independence day since it separated from the Republic of Sudan, but warned that people caught in the ongoing civil war that has torn the nation apart are “suffering beyond belief.” Some shocking reports from the war have shared stories of children burned alive, or castrated and left to die.

“I was there when this new nation was born, but sadly their stability and peace was short-lived. Now a civil war is raging, and it is largely instigated by Sudan in the north,” Graham said in a Facebook message.

He pointed to a recent article in the The New York Times that reported on a number of the personal tales of daily struggles and death that South Sudanese people face, and said that the horror of these stories “will open” people’s eyes.
