At exactly 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, the Sudan Government dropped six bombs on the village of Heiban.
Every Thursday is market day in Heiban when as many as 2,000 civilians come from all over Nuba to the market to sell what little possessions they have to get money to purchase food for their families.
Six civilians were badly injured in the bombing and one woman was killed.

This bombing unique happened within the same hour that Sudan was signing an agreement with South Sudan. At the very time the pen was on the paper the plane was in the air with the mission to bomb one of the largest weekly markets in Nuba.
Sudan claims the South Kordofan conflict is a proxy of South Sudan. It seems to me that the agreement in Addis is distracting from a conflict taking place right now.
We have more details to come as well as video footage and pictures with GPS coordinates of the bombing. But I wanted to get this information out now because I know that many of you will be writing a story about the agreement signed in Addis between Sudan and South Sudan.
