“For not to be raped” .. Women throw themselves into the Nile in Al-Gezira

The United Nations published a series of “horrific” testimonies from women and girls who fled violations by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia in Al-Gezirra State.

Girls said that their brothers, uncles and fathers provided them with knives, adding, “They told us to kill ourselves if the fighters threatened to rape us.”

In other testimonies, survivors said, “Women threw themselves into the river to avoid being attacked by armed men.”
