SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: BBC – Rape and Sudan’s revolution: ‘They were crying and screaming
In a feature piece, the witnesses told the BBC about the RSF’s exporting their usage of rape as a weapon of war from Darfur to Khartoum.
Sulaima Ishaq Sharif, who heads a trauma centre at Afhad University,said that the rapes are “all about degradation, humiliation and beating of the spirit.” She added that the number of rapes is likely to be higher than reported due to social stigmas.
An anonymous male witness recalls being shot at by RSF soldiers when trying to intervene during a raping, and then they attempted to rape him as well after confronting the rapists.
An anonymous ambulance driver said he saw the fighters argue over who would get to rape a dead woman.
