Amnistía Internacional acaba de publicar un informe sobre la crísis de Sudán, titulado «[«La Violación como arma de guerra»:http://web.amnesty.org/library/index/engafr540762004]». Los testimonios son escalofriantes.
La comunidad internacional sigue sin hacer nada. ¿Hasta cuándo?
«I was sleeping when the attack on Disa started. I was taken away by the attackers, they were all in uniforms. They took dozens of other girls and made us walk for three hours. During the day we were beaten and they were telling us: «You, the black women, we will exterminate you, you have no god.» At night we were raped several times. The Arabs(1) guarded us with arms and we were not given food for three days.»
(…)
«When we tried to escape they shot more children. They raped women; I saw many cases of Janjawid raping women and girls. They are happy when they rape. They sing when they rape and they tell that we are just slaves and that they can do with us how they wish.»
(…)
«Some women were raped. We heard about this. But only those who are not married can talk about it. We believe that nobody can become pregnant when raped, because this is unwanted sex and you cannot have a child from unwanted sex. For those who are in the camps in Darfur, those whom they rape day and night, they might become pregnant. Then only Allah can help the child to look like the mother. If an Arab child is born, this cannot be accepted»

Es absolutamente terrible pero las cosas se están haciendo así desde hace ya algún tiempo. Yo tengo consciencia de este problema cuando la guerra en Bosnia, cuando los serbios vilaban sistemáticamente a las muejres bosnias(musulmanas), después de haber matado a los varones de la familia. Posteriormente encerraban estas mujeres durante los meses necesarias para que no tuvieran posibilidad de abortar. «Limpieza» étnica lo llamaban.
Lo que está pasando en äfrica principalmente es increible. El uso de las poblaciones civiles en los conflictos armados se ha vuelto sistemático y la violación como arma de guerra con todas las consecuencias sociales que trae en pequeñas comunidades. En MSF se están preparando desde hace meses personal sanitario y sicólogos para atender este gravísimo problema .
