NEWS CENTER - Amnesty International has announced that rape and violence against women and children have increased in the ongoing war in Sudan.
Since April 2023, the war in Sudan between the army led by General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) led by Mohamed Hamdane Daglo continues.
Amnesty International published a new report on the ongoing war. The report, a 30-page document titled “They Raped All of Us”, includes the accounts of about 30 victims, some of them minors, and their families.
The report adds statement of Deprose Muchena, Amnesty International Senior Director for Regional Human Rights Impact. “The RSF’s assaults on Sudanese women and girls are sickening, depraved and aimed at inflicting maximum humiliation. The RSF has targeted civilians, particularly women and girls, with unimaginable cruelty during this war,” she said and added, “The world must act to stop the RSF’s atrocities by stemming the flow of weapons into Sudan, pressuring the leadership to end sexual violence, and holding perpetrators including top commanders to account.”
The report noted that the violence occurred between April 2023 and October 2024 in four states of Sudan, particularly in Darfur, Khartoum and Jazira regions.
