		The government was very much aware of where the SPLA had military units in Western Bahr al-Ghazal, especially around Raga town, but was "deliberately concentrating its genocidal aerial bombardment campaign against the civil population far away from SPLA positions that are around besieged government held garrisons", according to Kwaje.

		Kwaje said it was clear that the government of Sudan was "waging a war of displacement on the civil population in Western Bahr al-Ghazal, along the same pattern it has been using in other areas - particularly in the regions of the oilfields".
