Sudan: Fighters Rape Women and Girls, Hold Sex Slaves
Gang Rape, Sexual Slavery as Rapid Support Forces Attack Refuge Area
Sudan
On April 15, 2023, fighting in Sudan’s capital, Khartoum, between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), rapidly spread throughout the country. SAF leader Gen. Abdelfattah al-Burhan and RSF leader Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, known as “Hemedti,” had jointly carried out a coup against the country’s transitional government in October 2021. Both forces have a history of violating international humanitarian and human rights law, notably in Darfur and during crackdowns against protesters. In 2022, the trial of Ali Kosheib, a former Janjaweed militia leader, charged with 31 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, began at the International Criminal Court. Arrest warrants against ex-president Omar al-Bashir and two of his associates remain outstanding.
