and racial slurs before, during, and after sexual assaults. SAF was also implicated in conducting targeted arrests, detention, and racial profiling of civilians from ethnic identities allegedly to be connected to, or in support of, the RSF. The SAF targeted ethnic groups of western Sudan for assault and arrests for their suspected affiliation with the RSF. In conclusion, the majority of the victims and their kinsmen recommend that there should be a mechanism to push for the end to this armed conflict. They also recommend that justice should prevail and that perpetrators are held to account. HUDO Centre also recommends that international humanitarian law (IHL) should be observed, and that perpetrators (SAF, RSF and their allied militias) of abuses, violations, and atrocities should be held accountable. 5
