🌍 "In Omdurman, obtaining even a morsel of food means facing unimaginable horrors for women. Soldiers force women to fulfill their sexual desires to get food. This is the dire situation of some women in Omdurman, Sudan, reported by The Guardian. Amid the ongoing civil war, many have fled, but around 24 women and their families remain trapped. Food is controlled by the military, stored in factories. Elderly parents and children depend on women, who face soldiers’ demands to bring back food. Women revealed this grim reality to the media. This has been happening since the civil war began in April last year, triggered by clashes between the army and the Rapid Support Forces. Women lament that both factions sexually exploit them, even demanding favors to access leftover items in empty homes. One woman shared, 'No one should endure this. I'm only doing what they say to feed my children.'"
