Perspective

Just under two years ago, fighting between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces broke out in Sudan, sparking a civil war that continues to rage. At least 150,000 people are believed to have died in the fighting, with more than 8.2 million displaced. The United Nations calls it the world’s most devastating humanitarian situation. In addition to famine, vulnerable populations face sexual abuse. Earlier this month, UNICEF reported that armed fighters had raped hundreds of children, both boys and girls. This follows a report last year that gender-based violence, by both sides, including sexual slavery, was rampant in areas where the war was being waged. Oliver Farry speaks to Kamel Al Sharif, Area Programme Manager at the Norwegian Refugee Council about the revelations.
