RSF Accused of Child Abductions in Darfur

RSF Accused of Child Abductions in Darfur

The Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group in Sudan, has been accused of kidnapping children during the ongoing civil war in Darfur.

Witnesses say that the RSF has taken at least 56 children, some as young as two months old, and used them as slaves to take care of animals.

The children were often taken after their parents were killed.

The RSF has not responded to these accusations, but legal experts say these actions could be considered war crimes.

The United Nations and human rights groups are aware of these reports and are investigating the situation.
