About

Süd-Darfur is a region within Sudan currently experiencing a devastating conflict marked by widespread human rights abuses. Recent reports from Ärzte ohne Grenzen (Doctors Without Borders/MSF) highlight the alarming prevalence of sexual violence being used as a weapon of war, primarily targeting non-Arab populations. MSF's reports indicate that a significant proportion of victims are underage girls, with perpetrators often linked to the RSF militia. This underscores the extreme brutality of the conflict and the vulnerability of civilians. The ongoing war in Sudan, now in its fourth year, continues to generate international concern and protests, as evidenced by demonstrations in cities like Madrid. The reports from MSF serve to raise awareness and call for urgent action to address the crisis and protect vulnerable populations in Süd-Darfur and across Sudan.
