UN humanitarian coordinator for Sudan says war between army and paramilitaries is ‘horrific’
Violence against civilians in Sudan is “verging on pure evil,” a senior UNofficial has warned, as fighting escalates seven months into the war between the army and paramilitaries.
“We keep saying that the situation is horrific and grim. But, frankly, we are running out of words to describe the horror of what is happening in Sudan,” said Clementine Nkweta-Salami, the UN humanitarian coordinator for Sudan.
“We continue to receive unrelenting and appalling reports of sexual and gender-based violence, enforced disappearance, arbitrary detentions and grave violations of human and children’s rights,” she told reporters.
“What is happening is verging on pure evil,” she said, citing reports of young girls being raped in front of their mothers. She said she was worried about the risk of a repeat of the genocide of the early 2000s in this region of western Sudan.
