The Nuba Mountains Union (Arabic: اتحاد جبال النوبا‎) was a political party in Sudan. It was founded in October 1964.[1] The party was an alliance of tribal and political leaders in the Kordofan province.[2] The formation of the party reflected discontent with traditional parties, and was contemporary with other regional parties in north Sudan like the Beja Congress and the Darfur Development Front.[1][3] The call to form the party came from Nuba students at the University of Khartoum.[1][4] The party favoured bifurcation of Kordofan, creating a separate Southern Kordofan (including the Nuba Mountains) region.[1][5]
