"Millions have been uprooted, many of them carrying the physical and emotional scars of abuse, assault and the relentless terror of war. Al Jazeera's Ahmed Idris visited the Tulum refugee camp in eastern Chad, where a small group of Sudanese survivors has formed a support circle, one of the few spaces where victims can speak openly about what happened to them."
"They held me and my sister for five days and tortured us, Basma told Al Jazeera. The RSF seized el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, in late October after a campaign that witnesses and rights groups describe as marked by mass killings, kidnappings and widespread sexual violence. The United Nations aid chief, Tom Fletcher, said the city had become a crime scene, while Amnesty International has accused RSF fighters of committing war crimes there."
Eastern Chad hosts tens of thousands who fled Sudan's 2023 conflict, creating one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. Many refugees arrive carrying deep physical and psychological wounds from abuse, assault and relentless wartime terror. Mental healthcare and psychological support in the camps are extremely limited, prompting survivors to form informal support circles in locations such as the Tulum refugee camp. Survivors report kidnapping, detention, torture and widespread sexual violence tied to the Rapid Support Forces' assault on el-Fasher. International agencies and rights groups describe the situation in el-Fasher as a crime scene and call for investigations into alleged war crimes.
