Quote: Case Study: Attack on a school in Tawila, North Darfur One of the victims of rape during the attack on a boarding school in February 2004, a young girl, told the Commission that: “At about 6:00 in the morning, a large number of Janjaweed attacked the school. She knew that they were Janjaweed because of their “red skin”, a term she used for Arabs. They were wearing camouflage Government uniforms. They arrived in a pickup truck of the same color as the uniforms they were wearing. On the day before, she noticed that the Government soldiers had moved in position to surround the school. When they attacked the boarding house, they pointed their guns at the girls and forced them to strip naked, took their money, valuables and all of their bedding. There were around 110girls at the boarding school. All the events occurred in the sleeping quarters of the school. The victim was taken from the group, blindfolded, pushed down to the ground on her back and raped. She was held by her arms and legs. Her legs were forced and held apart. She was raped twice. She confirmed that penetration occurred. The rape lasted for about one hour. Nothing was said by the perpetrators during the rape. She heard other girls screaming and 89 thought that they were also being raped. After the rape, the Janjaweed started burning and ng. (She confirmed the presence of the military in the area, as she had seen military helicopters used by the army on the same day.) The victim became pregnant as a result of this rape and later gave birth to a child.
