Sudan conflict: UN report accuses RSF of sexual violence, forced captivity

Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allies have committed "staggering" levels of sexual abuse, raping civilians as troops advance and abducting some women as sex slaves during the more than 18-month war, a UN mission said on Tuesday. Victims have ranged between eight and 75 years, said the UN fact-finding mission's report, with most sexual violence committed by the RSF and allied militia in an attempt to terrorise and punish people for perceived links to enemies.
