The international medical humanitarian organization, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), has issued a grave warning regarding the conflict raging across Sudan.

MSF asserts that sexual violence targeting women and girls is actively being utilized as a deliberate weapon of war in the ongoing hostilities.

The Escalation of Sudan's Internal Conflict

Sudan descended into widespread chaos starting in April 2023. This crisis erupted following a severe power struggle between the nation's military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The fighting quickly escalated, engulfing major areas, including the capital city of Khartoum and various other locations across the country.

MSF's Role Amid the Violence

As a key provider of aid, MSF's observations highlight the severe human cost of the clashes between the two primary warring factions.

The organization's findings underscore the systematic nature of these atrocities being committed during the conflict.
