UN accuses RSF of kidnapping women and girls in Sudan
|
 [SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and its militias kidnapped more than 160 women and girls who were detained under slavery-like conditions over the previous year, a new report from the United Nations revealed.
The Secretary-General’s report on conflict-related violence covering the period January to December 2023, was presented to the Security Council on Tuesday.
“The United Nations has received credible information about the abduction of more than 160 girls and women in detention, including reports of women and girls being raped and detained in slavery-like conditions,” partly reads the report.
It added, “There are reports that women and girls abducted in Khartoum State were transferred to other areas, especially Darfur, chained in the back of trucks, which was the case in almost all instances”.
The Secretary General’s annually presented report did not, however, rule out the coercion of some women and girls to engage in prostitution or forced marriage, while in other cases, families paid a large ransom for the return of their members.
Advocacy groups such as Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA) hinted on the sale of women kidnapped from Khartoum in areas of Darfur.
The UN said it had documented cases of conflict-related sexual violence, including rape, gang rape, abduction as well as trafficking committed against 98 women, 18 girls, a man and boy in 2023.
It reported that the cases occurred in the states of Khartoum, South Darfur and North Darfur, involving men wearing RSF uniforms mostly followed by members of its Arab militias, as well as unidentified armed men and army personnel.
