Sudan's civil war escalates as UN reports surge in sexual violence and atrocities

rfi.fr — November 2, 2024, 11:01 AM UTC

Sudan's civil war is intensifying, with a UN report revealing a rise in sexual violence and atrocities. The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are primarily responsible for attacks on women and children, including abductions for sexual slavery.

The report highlights severe human rights abuses by both the Sudanese Army and RSF, with documented cases of gang rapes and torture. The violence aims to instill fear in civilians and suppress opposition, particularly in Darfur.

The humanitarian crisis is worsening, with over 25 million people facing acute hunger. More than 11 million are internally displaced, and funding shortages are hindering relief efforts, according to the UN migration agency.
