"The war has not only resulted in mass killing and starvation, but also widespread violence against women and girls. Last month, the United States officially declared the war a genocide — a rare designation done only seven times in U.S. history. Yet, for many survivors, the acknowledgment feels hollow. Before the war, Shaza was completing her residency in northern Khartoum. Her life was defined by long hospital hours and dreams of helping her community. Then the RSF arrived, armed with weapons and lists bearing the names of medical personnel. 'They came knocking on doors, demanding to know who the doctors were,' Shaza told More to Her Story. Some medical professionals were abducted and coerced into treating injured RSF soldiers. Many disappeared. Fearing for her life, Shaza fled to Al Jazeera State, a region between the White and Blue Nile rivers, but the violence followed." https://lnkd.in/gyz7aXzn
