A report of Human Rights Watch, presented today, confirms&nbsp;earlier reports by Dabanga Sudan that allegedly more than 200 women and girls have been raped.<\/p>\n<p>Today (Wednesday), Sudan&#39;s military spokesman, El Sawarmi Khalid Saad, rejected the accusations, calling them &quot;absolutely wrong&quot;. He described them to Reuters as a bid to pressure Sudan to keep the&nbsp;joint UN-AU peacekeeping force (Unamid) in Darfur.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;All the accusations about Tabit area came as reaction after the Sudan government request for Unamid to leave Sudan,&quot; according to the SAF spokesman. &quot;Some bodies are using these false accusations as pressure to keep Unamid in Darfur.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The first reports on the mass rape in Tabit came on 2 November. Initially the local military commander admitted the rape according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/commander-admits-to-mass-rape-by-soldiers-in-north-darfur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our report<\/a>. Later, the Sudanese government responded with a fierce denial, and blocked off Tabit for visitors. Authorities in the area threatened civilians to not speak about the alleged crime.<\/p>\n<p>The security service also started to arrest several civilians who are still kept in an undisclosed place, Human Rights Watch said today in its detailed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2015\/02\/11\/sudan-mass-rape-army-darfur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report on the mass rape<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>On 24 November, Sudan closed the human rights office of the Unamid peacekeeping mission after UN-chief Ban Ki-moon requested full access to Tabit to investigate the mass rape claims.<\/p>\n<p>Days later, the Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced publicly that it&nbsp;wanted Unamid to start preparations&nbsp;to leave the country. Two high-ranking officials of the UN in Sudan were expelled in December.<\/p>\n<p><em>Read more about the Tabit mass rape case <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news?search=tabit+mass+rape&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"sws_supernormalaction\"><button on=\"tap:superwebshare-lightbox\" class=\"superwebshare_normal_button1 superwebshare-button-large superwebshare-button-square superwebshare_prompt superwebshare_button_svg\" style=\"color:#ffffff;background-color: #d52631;\" ><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"superwebshare-svg\"  fill=\"currentColor\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"0\"><path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M789.86,323.67c91.79,0,164.25-72.46,164.25-164.25S881.64,0,789.86,0S625.6,72.46,625.6,164.25c0,4.83,0,14.49,0,24.15L306.76,371.98c-24.15-24.15-57.97-33.82-96.62-33.82c-91.79,0-164.25,72.46-164.25,164.25s72.46,164.25,164.25,164.25c38.65,0,72.46-14.49,96.62-33.82L625.6,821.26c0,9.66,0,14.49,0,19.32c0,86.96,72.46,159.42,159.42,159.42s159.42-72.46,159.42-159.42s-67.63-159.42-154.59-159.42c-33.82,0-67.63,9.66-96.62,33.82L374.4,526.57c0-9.66,0-19.32,0-24.15s0-14.49,0-24.15l318.84-188.41C717.39,314.01,751.21,323.67,789.86,323.67z\" \/><\/svg><span>Share article<\/span><\/button><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Military spokesman says accusations by human rights group today &#8220;pressure to keep peacekeeping mission in Darfur&#8221;, denies that more than 200 women were raped in Tabit in October 2014.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27,47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-183476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-sexual-violence"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
