Over 36 terrifying hours in October, 221 women and girls in Tabit town in North Darfur were raped by Sudanese army forces in their homes, in the streets and in front of their loved ones during a mass rape that could constitute crimes against humanity, Human Rights Watch (HRW) said on Wednesday.

In a 48-page report, HRW revealed the stories of those who were attacked as scores of soldiers went from house to house, beating and whipping men, raping women and girls, and looting and destroying property.
