Militiamen raped four women, two of them minors, in the vicinity of Shangil Tobaya in North Darfur on Saturday. “Five gunmen mounted on camels and wearing military uniforms, raped four women on their farmland in the area of Kubri Mesko, three kilometres south of Shangil Tobaya on Saturday”, a relative of one of the women reported to Radio Dabanga. “The women are 21, 18, 17, and 15 years-old.” “We reported the incident to the military forces stationed in the vicinity”, the relative said. “They immediately dispatched seven vehicles to the crime scene. Before they arrived, however, the militiamen shot at them, leading to the injury of five army troops, including an officer.” File photo Related:Five women, including two minors, raped in North Darfur (7 September 2014) Mother, daughter gang-raped in Kabkabiya, North Darfur (2 September 2014) Four women, including two minors, gang-raped in Darfur (31 August 2014) Militiamen kill one, rape two, surround North Darfur camp (15 August 2014) Man killed, students assaulted, women raped in Kutum, North Darfur (14 August 2014) Militiamen kill, rape displaced in North Darfur (1 August 2014)
