Sudanese Soldiers



February 11, 2015 around 12:05 P.M the news had spread throughout worldwide, in the Darfuri town 200 women and girls were raped some as young as seven years old by the Sudanese Soldiers on October 31st at night going into November 1st morning. The Sudanese military undertook at least 3 distinct attacks in the town, in these attacks there was stealing, abuse and harassment to the civilians living in those towns and a lot of rapes were taken place.  Many witnesses and victims took a stance against these soldiers and decided to tell the news reporters everything they have either witnessed or went through. One women with the name of Asal had recounted how the soldiers hung her brother from a tree before raping her, she had said 'Three men came inside the hut. Two of the men were holding me. The third was raping me. When I cried they pushed a piece of cloth in my mouth. Then the other one raped me.' Not only were females raped and abused but men were dragged from their homes, taken to other areas for questioning and, pummeled. Men were traumatized seeing their sisters and/or wives raped by the soldiers.
