The use of rape as a weapon of war has once again been uncovered in the midst of a major conflict. Investigators for the UN children's agency UNICEF say hundreds of little girls and boys, some not even a year old and more than a dozen under the age of five, have been sexually abused by armed men in Sudan's civil war. Both the army and RSF paramilitaries have been accused of the atrocities, adding a horrific new dimension to a brutal conflict that has claimed tens of thousands of lives since April 2023.
