Darfur children suffering 'unspeakable' abuse
Children in Darfur are enduring “unspeakable acts of violence and abuse” from killing and rape to abduction, torture and recruitment, as fighters in the escalating four-year conflict, a world group of relief and human rights organisations said today.
The Watchlist on Children and Armed Conflict accused the Sudanese government of “apparent deliberate efforts … to suppress information and prevent agencies from collecting and disseminating details on attacks against children and their protection needs, particularly in Darfur” and eastern Sudan.
