Darfur rape charges

For years everybody rapes this country, there are so many stories that can fill libraries not only books. But here we go again …the Sudanese army has criticized a recent UN report accusing it of raping women and girls, and looting towns during attacks in western Darfur.

The UN said raids by aircraft and ground forces on three towns in February left at least 115 people dead. A Sudanese military spokesman said the army was doing its job of protecting civilians by forcing rebels out. The United Nations says more than 200,000 people have died in Darfur since rebels took up arms in 2003. Two million people have been displaced and now live in camps.

Brig Gen Osman Mohamed al-Aghbash blamed rebels in Darfur for attacks on civilians in the area and the looting of their property. "The army, discharging its duty... regarding the prevalence of security and protection of civilian lives, would go after rebels and bandit groups all over the country," he is quoted as saying by Sudan's official news agency Suna.

They are amazing when it comes to blames and excuses but the sometime more people are raped and killed and please remember when it comes to crime there is full equality they rape without looking gender!
