Violence in Sudan ‘verging on pure evil’, UN warns

Al Jazeera  

More than half of Sudan’s population needs humanitarian aid after nearly seven months of war, UN humanitarian coordinator for Sudan says. Violence against civilians in Sudan is “verging on pure evil”, a senior United Nations official has warned, after nearly seven months of war has left a wave of destruction with at least half the population in need of humanitarian aid. “We continue to receive unrelenting and appalling reports of sexual and gender-based violence and forced disappearance, arbitrary detentions and grave violations of human and children’s rights,” Clementine Nkweta-Salami, the UN humanitarian coordinator for Sudan, told a news conference on Friday. Nkweta-Salami said the UN has heard of crimes against Darfur’s Masalit ethnic community, and said they “are really egregious violations of human rights and it must stop”.
