Sudan: Children, Disabled Burned Alive, Mass Rapes Amid Civil War
"Rape is definitely used systematically as a weapon to humiliate the rival populations, but to allow soldiers to rape women as part of their salary, is pretty puzzling. Local Church sources from South Sudan, comment on the report on war crimes committed in South Sudan presented today in Geneva by the United Nations for Human Rights. According to the report, the systematic use of rape was also used as a form of remuneration for pro-government fighters.
"That said, the UN report is definitely reliable" our sources say. "We saw members of the inquiry committee do a thorough job on the ground until the end of January, meeting and interviewing local witnesses. The systematic use of mass rape to humiliate the opponent is terribly real and widespread". "In general UN reports are reliable because they refer only news that can also be verified " stress Fides sources.
