Central Darfur woman beaten after rape attempt

Gunmen beat up a displaced woman of Garsila camp in Central Darfur when she resisted a rape attempt on Friday. “Three government-backed militiamen attempted to rape Kaltoum Haroun Ishag near the camp on Friday morning. When she resisted they beat her severely with their rifles,” a Garsila camp elder reported to Radio Dabanga. “She was seriously injured, and taken to a hospital in Nierteti for treatment.” The camp elder, as well as activists from Nierteti, called through Radio Dabanga on Unamid and the Sudanese authorities to intervene and stop the assaults of displaced and other citizens in Darfur.
