Sudanese Women forced to line up and have s3x with Soldiers in exchange for food - New report claims
Several women have come forward to reveal how Sudanese soldiers have allegedly s3xually abused them in exchange for food for their families.
Over two dozen women who fled the Sudanese city of Omdurman said that having s3x with soldiers was the only way they could access food or goods that they could sell to raise money to feed their families, according to a new damning report by the Guardian.
A victim reportedly said the assaults took place in factories across the city where the food is stockpiled.
“Both of my parents are too old and sick and I never let my daughter go out to look for food. I went to the soldiers and that was the only way to get food – they were everywhere in the factories area,” said a woman, who was forced to have sex with soldiers at a meat-processing factory in May last year according to the Monday morning, July 22 report by The Guardian.
The assaults reportedly began soon after a civil war broke out in the country which has seen the country’s army fight against paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
The report alleges that soldiers have also demanded sex in exchange for access to abandoned houses where it is still possible to loot items to sell in local markets.
One woman said that she was allowed to take food, kitchen equipment and perfumes from empty houses after she had sex with soldiers.
“What I went through is indescribable, I would not wish it on an enemy … I only did it because I wanted to feed my children,” she said.
Residents of the city claimed they see soldiers bringing women to abandoned houses where they were made to queue up as soldier picked the ones “they liked the look of”. “A lot of women come and queue outside our neighbourhood. I sometimes hear screaming but what can you do? Nothing,” one resident said.
Another woman said that once she refused to have sex with the soldier they tortured her and burned her legs.
The 21-year-old lady said she had previously had sex with soldiers in exchange for being allowed to loot houses for food and goods, but when she refused to do so again, the soldiers held her down and burned her legs.
A soldier, who denied ever assaulting a woman himself, said he had witnessed his colleagues. “It’s awful. The amount of the sins in this city can never been be forgiven,” he said.
Reports of r@pe by armed forces emerged just days after the conflict started on 15 April 2023.
The war in Sudan has killed tens of thousands of people, with some estimates placing the d£ath count as high as 150,000. The war has created the world’s worst displacement crisis, with more than 11 million displaced.
