Voimme nähdä, että siellä olivat monia colombiaanismerkintöjä, jotka olivat siellä. Yksi merkintö oli erityisenä, jonka haluamme keskittyä. Hänen huoneensa oli colombiaanis-spanilainen, ja he olivat mukana Al-Fasherissa viikkojen aikana. Emme tiedä, oliko tämä henkilö suositellut, oliko tämä henkilö haastanut, koska voimme vain nähdä heidän huoneensa muutoksia, mutta yleensä nämä merkintöt olivat usein tekemässä droneja.

told me more about the report. The MSF report was based on more than 3,000 survivors of sexual violence who sought treatment at their clinics. But there are many, many more, MSF says, because it's difficult to access care. Services are scarce, traveling any distance is not secure, and there's a social stigma to admitting that you've been raped. And it is very widespread.

So the MSF reported or documented rapes that were carried out in hot conflict zones in northern Darfur, especially during the fall of the city of Al-Fasher. Very disturbing accounts of very violent rape, very often gang rape, ethnic targeting, Arab fighters targeting non-Arab communities.

but they also documented rapes carried out regularly in South Darfur, which is not on the front line. And there the report said rape had just become part of everyday life. Women were raped on their way to the market, they were raped working in the field. Again, often gang rapes, and this, they said, MSF said, is rooted in previous decades of conflict, gender discrimination, and frankly, complete impunity.

It has to be said that all of the warring parties in Sudan are accused of sexual violence. That includes the regular army and its allies, as well as the RSF. But Darfur is the stronghold of the rapid support forces, and the vast majority of sexual violence survivors identified the perpetrators as RSF fighters. The MSF report did say there was a significant number of victims under the age of 18 in South Darfur, for example, including 41 under the age of 5.

Although in Söldtöföre it was not just armed men. There you also had criminal gangs and sometimes intimate partners. But the RSF leadership has admitted that individual violations were committed during the takeover of Al-Fasher in particular. It says these are being investigated and the scale of atrocities, it insists, was exaggerated. And is there anything that can be done? Because this just feels like a desperate situation that shows no sign of ending anytime soon.

Yes, both of those things. Desperate and it feels like there's no sign of ending. So what MSF says is there has to be accountability. It says that the parties that have influence with the fighters should press them to protect civilians. There should be the international groups that monitor human rights violations should press forward with accountability measures. It says there should be money by donors to improve services for civilians.

Seksuaalinen väli. Ja se myös sanoo, että sillä pitäisi olla yhä suurempi puolustus UN-ajankoihin. Ja jos ne eivät ole, niin tuotantojen rahoja pitäisi antaa paikallisille ja maailmanlaajuisille NGOille.

The main patterns that emerged from the investigation were repeated hits on residential neighborhoods, repeated hits on markets, often during crowded market days.

Also, a large number of alleged strikes on humanitarian and medical facilities.

And as you were hearing from Mark Snook, there are evidence that the Air Force had used unguided bombs in populated areas.

And their strongest case for that was verified images of an unexploded, unguided aerial bomb in a camp for displaced people,

And they had quite a close picture of it and said this is the kind of bomb produced by Sudanese arms manufacturers.

They also did case studies on quite a few strikes on markets, as well as a particular strike on a hospital in Darfur and many on residential neighbourhoods.

For example, a series of airstrikes in early February in the city centre of Nyala, which is a main base for the RSF.

Well, it hasn't said anything to us.

We asked for a response and they didn't reply.

But it has previously denied allegations of targeting civilians.

What it says is that its airstrikes are directed solely at RSF sites recognized as legitimate military targets.

It accuses the RSF of seeking refuge within residential neighborhoods.
