Darfuri girl ‘raped repeatedly for 10 hours’: relative

A 13-year-old displaced girl is alleged to have been repeatedly raped over a period of 10 hours in Krekir, west of Kabkabiya in North Darfur on Saturday, while her 17-year-old brother was bound to a tree. A relative of the girl told Radio Dabanga that she and her brother were accosted “by three border guards, one of them a Captain”. The relative alleged that when the girl’s brother attempted to rescue her, he was taken and bound to a tree. “The men then took turns raping her over a period of more than 10 hours,” the relative said. The source reported that once the crime was reported, a group of local residents helped to track the alleged rapists to Garrah Za and Azawia, further to the west, and were able to detain them.A witness said that the men were forced to pay compensation of SDG23,000 ($5,235), adding that both the girl and her brother have been transferred to hospital in Kabkabiya for treatment.
