Two girls raped in South Darfur

Three armed men in military uniforms accused of being behind the crime

Two girls were allegedly raped by three armed men in military uniforms in South Darfur’s Margum camp near Kaas on Saturday.The two sisters, one of them 18 years of age and another 13, were on their way back home in Nazhtin from a farm when the incident took place. The armed men met them on the way and kidnapped them into the valleys where they were raped.

On noticing the delay in the girls returning home, their parents reported to the police and the UNAMID in the region. What raised the parents’ suspicion was the three armed men patrolling the area, one of whom is infamous for having committed rape crimes previously.

Camp residents told Radio Dabanga that there was a lot of panic in the region as the search for the perpatrators goes on.

Several cases of rape by armed men in military uniforms in Darfur were reported by Radio Dabanga in the last week alone.
