Just 10 miles from a war zone, the Duchess of Edinburgh finds a ‘complete atrocity’
The TelegraphTears streaming down her face, the Duchess of Edinburgh emerged from the makeshift clinic into the oven-like central African heat and stood on her own by the side of the tent for a few moments in order to compose herself. Minutes later, tears were still visible in her eyes as she described with quiet indignation the “complete atrocity” of the systematic rape being perpetrated against women in Sudan. In a surprise visit to the troubled border, the Duchess said the suffering was “akin to Rwanda” in its brutality and warned that the conflict has “fallen from everybody’s consciousness”. Amid tight security, The Telegraph travelled with the Duchess on Sunday to the vast refugee camp of Adré on the Chad-Sudan border, just over 10 miles from the site of recently reported fighting.
