Describing the sexual molestation as "a new low in the catalog of atrocities in Darfur, Human Rights Watch African Director Daniel Bekele sought the help of the UN and the African Union to protect civilians in the area from more attacks.

During three distinct military operations in Darfur, soldiers moved house to house, stole things inside the homes, beat residents and raped females in sight, reports NBC.

A woman in her 40s described their ordeal wherein one soldier held her daughter and another one raped the girl. It happened to her three daughters who are all less than 11 years old and herself.

According to two army defectors, the rapes were ordered on them. But Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed Karti denied the claims by victims of mass rapes in Tabit, where Human Rights Watch wants the entry of peacekeepers to establish probe teams made up of experts on sexual violence.

Karti said, "They have their homes there, they have their wives there, and they are living in a camp near that place - no one will expect those soldiers will come and rape by hundreds in that village." He added that Tabit has police and army forces who will protect residents from anyone who will attempt to infringe their security.
