Targeted sexual violence against women and girls of specific ethnicities was named as one of the most disturbing findings to emerge from an ICC investigation into crimes committed in Darfur. War broke out between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in April 2023, leading to what the UN calls "devastating civilian casualties". ICC Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Shameem Khan said it was "difficult to find appropriate words to describe the depth of suffering" in the region.' Hope the 'West Putney Humanitarian (ex-Israel) Society' will raise a storm about this on the Forum. Perhaps not as pointing it out is probably deemed racist as well as Islamophobic aggression. |
