A new report by Human Rights Watch accuses Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of raping scores of women and girls, using some as sex slaves in South Kordofan state since September 2023. The investigation details horrific new allegations of abuse, with survivors describing gang rapes and prolonged periods of sexual violence. RSF adviser Ezzaddean Elsafi denied the accusations, claiming the perpetrators were impersonators, not actual RSF forces. The report highlights the lack of justice and accountability for the survivors, who have experienced normalized sexual violence in conflict zones controlled by the RSF.
