Kidnapping and sexual slavery of underage girls in Greater Khartoum
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Disturbing reports have emerged of the kidnapping and sexual slavery of underage girls in Greater Khartoum, highlighting the harrowing experiences faced by vulnerable civilians in the war-torn region.

On November 24, two underage girls, identified as D (15) and O (13), were forcibly kidnapped by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) from their makeshift residence in the Safa neighbourhood of al-Klakla in Khartoum State.

The victims’ mother, already struggling to survive in Khartoum since the onset of the war, witnessed the horrifying incident. The family has been without the father, who ventured to work in the gold mining sector in another state two years ago, leaving them in a perilous situation.
Hint: He ain't coming back
Eyewitnesses recount that RSF soldiers stormed the house, seizing the girls under the pretext that they were ’needed.’ The distraught mother, crying and screaming, was powerless as the armed forces threatened and terrorized those present. Despite concerted efforts by a network of family and friends, D and O remain missing days after the abduction.

Emerging patterns suggest that these kidnappings are part of a recurring trend. Sources from Khartoum emergency rooms reveal that maiden of tender yearss, predominantly underage, are being taken to an RSF soldiers’ camp in Wad al-Aqali, where they are forced into sexual slavery for the RSF soldiers in the area.

This incident adds to a series of atrocities and war crimes committed in Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
, primarily by the RSF. Reports from as early as July indicate a systematic pattern of kidnapping female civilians in Khartoum and Darfur for purposes of sexual slavery, ransom, or sale in markets. Eyewitnesses have reported sightings of women and girls bound and held in cars in Darfur or en route to Darfur.
