        <media:text>Tensions have been escalating between Sudan and its southern neighbor after South Sudan captured the Heglig oil field. Sudan has since regained control of the facility. However, peace talks between Sudan and South Sudan have been suspended following the recent clashes. And Sudanese officials say those talks will not resume unless security issues are resolved. Meanwhile, the Nuba mountains along the border remain a flashpoint. The rebel group, Sudan People's Liberation Movement-North (SPLM-N), says that it is fighting for the liberation of the Nuba people. The SPLM-North is banned in Sudan. In the view of the Khartoum government, the group has been waging a proxy war against it with the backing of the authorities in Juba. And a former general says the SPLM-N is trying to topple the government in Khartoum. Al-Jazeera's Zeina Khodr reports from Sudan.</media:text>

The high committee to support South Kordofan launched Kadugli's call to raise monetary and material aid for those affected by the war in Kosti's Tahrir Square in the White Nile State, under the auspices of the state's civil administration. It is expected to continue the appeal for one week.

Under these captivating tunes and under the auspices of the White Nile State's civil administration, the high committee to support South Kordofan launched Kadugli's call to raise monetary and material aid for those affected by the war in the state of South Kordofan.  

Guest, Female # 3 (Afaf el-Loz, Vice Chairman of the Assembly's Health Committee)
This is the first group that we witness in Sudan. For one week, all residents of the White Nile from varied ethnic backgrounds and political affiliations, including the People's Movement, will come together to contribute to this appeal by supporting the people in Southern Kordofan. 

Reporter, Male # 2
In addition to gathering financial and material support to those affected by the war, the high committee to support South Kordofan has called on residents of the White Nile to view the situation on the ground and the current level of stability witnessed in the state. 

Guest, Male # 3 (Mohamamad Markzu Kuku, Secretary of the South Kordofan political secretariat)
I could say that the situation has returned to normal. Many of the brothers and sisters who fled the state have returned home. We, the high commission in the White Nile, have told this great group of people that we are ready to work on helping those who wish to go back to Nuba. 

Reporter, Male # 2
Confirming the bond that links all Sudanese, the residents of Nuba expressed their gratitude and appreciation for the experience they shared with other citizens of the country, who are watching over their security and stability. They confirmed it is a message for all those concerned within the People's Movement. 

Guest, Male # 4 (Al-Tayeb Hasan Badri, Nuba Mountains residents leader)
Today, we can say that we discovered in reality a conspiracy from the People's Movement, which is now proposing the situation of Darfur and the situation of the relations with the south, from the Nuba Mountains platform, and within the Nuba Mountains negotiations. We say this has really confirmed to us that this agenda is not that of the residents of Nuba. 

Reporter, Male # 2
Kadugli's appeal in the White Nile will continue for one week, granting the state's residents the opportunity to renew the era of former cooperation with the residents of Southern Kordofan by offering all they can to those in need.
