On July 11, South Sudanese forces beat opposition forces to take over the capital, Juba, of the youngest country on earth. To celebrate, they went on a rampage of brutality and sexual violence, infiltrating displacement camps in Juba and taking advantage of many of the local women stationed there.
Just a few minutes drive away, U.N. peacekeeping forces were stationed with the responsibility to prevent harm to civilians. But these forces did not fulfill their responsibilities. Instead, they refused repeated calls for help as “an unknown number” of South Sudanese women were raped. AP interviewed eight foreigners who survived the rampage. Three said they had been raped, the other five were beaten, and one was even shot.
