SUDAN’S paramilitary forces and allied militias have raped “scores” of women and girls, including while keeping them as sex slaves, in South Kordofan, Human Rights Watch (HRW) revealed today.
The group interviewed 93 people in the region, who said that members of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied military members were in uniform during attacks.
Some survivors said they knew the men by name from the community and witnesses said at least 14 people were raped in their own homes.
