Sudan: Women Forced to Line up for Sex with Soldiers for Food
A group of women who escaped from a war-ridden Sudan have claimed that RSF soldiers are forcing local women to have sex with them in exchange for food in a cruel and systematic way.
Last year, ISH News had released a video explaining how the Indian Army & the Indian Navy carried out “Operation Kaveri” and evacuated around 3000 Indians from war-ridden Sudan.
The video also explained the reason behind Sudan’s civil war.

The war in Sudan is still going on and the civil conditions there have gotten worse. A recent shocking report claims that Rapid Support Forces (RSF) soldiers are forcing local women to have sex with them in exchange for food.
Around 24 women who recently escaped the country told international reporters that having sex with soldiers was the only way they could access food and the goods that they could sell to raise money to fulfill their basic needs.
They claimed that the physical assault took place inside various factories where the food is stockpiled in a very systematic & controlled manner.
The women are lined up outside these factories and made to wait for their turn.
One woman said that RSF soldiers also demanded sex in exchange for access to abandoned houses to loot items to sell in local markets.
The RSF soldiers lined them up outside the abandoned houses too, picked the ones "they liked the look of", and then took them inside for “pleasure.”
The women waiting outside often heard the painful screams of the woman being assaulted inside the abandoned house.
Another woman revealed that when she refused to have sex with the soldiers once, they physically tortured her and burned her legs.
The helpless women committed to the heinous act only to feed their old & sick parents and children. Most of them called the physical assault indescribable and as something they wouldn't wish upon even their worst enemy.
The war in Sudan has killed around 1 lakh 50 thousand people and displaced more than 1 crore people since its beginning on 15th April 2023. It has brought Sudan on the brink of famine.
