UN report on Darfur mass rapes demands justice

Darfur women have suffered agony and humiliation for being from the land of the Janjaweed. They have been raped and physically assaulted several times to threaten them and their clan. What a pity the government is siding away from such allegations? Women in Darfur have been subject to agony only because they are females that too from Sudan’s troubled Darfur. Their story tells the tale of torture, rape and physical abuse that they have to undergo, thanks to the government-backed Janjaweed, who have actively laid barren the claims. A UN report confirms that rape is increasingly used as a weapon of war against the locals to instill fear in them by humiliating their women. Darfur women have been in the fire ever since the civil war began. Moreover, children of Darfur have been subject to torture and witness to the molestation, rape and sexual assault of their mothers, sisters and friends. What a shame on the part of the government of Sudan, which has closed its eyes to the reality! It is also known that the Janjaweed are actively supported by the Sudanese government against rebel forces. Also, it is the janjaweed that has been committing atrocities on the women and children of Darfur. The conflict in Darfur has dragged into the fourth year, but the people have not found any kind of respite from anywhere. Their woes increase when even non-participants in the conflict are subject to assault. Around 200,000 people have already perished. With millions homeless, without aid, food, water, shelter, medicines, the agony doubles when they find themselves vulnerable to abductions of their children and rape of their women. The UN report on Darfur war crimes needs to be seriously assessed and action taken report demanded from the Sudan Government. The Darfur women deserve something better amidst their poverty. Atleast now their cries be paid heed to and justice prevail. Image1 Image2 Via: MSNBC
