RSF accused of sexual violence in Sudan civil war

A women’s rights organisation, SIHA, has documented 1,294 cases of sexual and gender-based violence in war-torn Sudan, with RSF fighters responsible for 87% of the attacks. The violations are described as systematic and targeted, with rape being the most common form of abuse, including cases involving children as young as four. RSF forces have been advancing in Kordofan, leading to mass atrocities and civilian deaths, prompting international concern and calls to cut external support for the belligerents.
