A disabled four-year-old boy was among at least 19 people raped at gunpoint by members of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF), according to eye witness accounts gathered by The Telegraph.
Researchers recorded dozens of attacks carried out by the RSF, with most of the women describing being raped in front of their families or being being held as sex slaves where they were “raped repeatedly” by fighters for extended periods.
All four children told Fatou and Najwa that the RSF soldiers had raped them.
Najwa said the soldiers broke into groups of two to three and took it in turns to gang rape the women, beating them with their guns as they did so.
When she heard the soldiers leave, Najwa’s sister Fatou returned to the clearing where the soldiers had left the naked women covered in blood.
