Two separate complaints of rape of minors have been lodged with police in Kadugli, capital of South Kordofan, after a 13-year-old girl and a nine-year-old boy were violated in separate incidents in the city. Medical confirmation of the rapes was reportedly delayed by an ongoing strike by doctors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lamya El Fateh of the South Kordofan Gender Equality Network told Radio Dabanga yesterday that a 13-year-old girl with disabilities was raped in Kadugli on Monday.<\/p>\n

She said that the doctors of the Kadugli Teaching Hospital refused to deal with the case as they were on strike, so the girl had to be taken to a private clinic.<\/p>\n

Medical doctor and family and child activist Emtisal Abdelfarraj reported yesterday that a nine-year-old boy was raped by a ‘homeless person’ more than a week ago. The victim was transferred to the Family and Child Unit in the state capital, and the alleged rapist arrested.<\/p>\n

She criticised the lack of cooperation from doctors in confirming the rape “under the pretext of being on strike”. Dr Abdelfarraj says that a medical report was finally written on Tuesday, “eight days after the accident”.<\/p>\n

The South Kordofan Gender Equality Network confirm that medical examinations verified the two incidents of rape, after which complaints could be filed at the police of Kadugli.<\/p>\n

On May 31, a group of armed men reportedly raped four women<\/a> on the road between Kadugli and Hajar El Ful Market in South Kordofan.<\/p>\n

Multiple sources reported to Radio Dabanga, the gunmen raped the four women at gunpoint after intercepting a commercial vehicle with traders and women onboard en route to Hajar El Ful Market. That evening police in Kadugli arrested a number of young men who were coming from the Hajar El Ful Market on suspicion of rape and armed robbery.<\/p>\n
