Children born with no legal identity, due to their mother being raped
In Sudan’s civil war, thousands of women and teenage girls have been raped. Some of them give birth, only to find that their children lack a legal identity because they can’t identify the father. The BBC reports:
A 17-year-old Sudanese girl holds a young child in her arms…”This son of mine has no father, no birth certificate and no national number,” said Amir…She and her family used to live in the eastern neighborhoods of el-Fasher, a city that came under siege from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which has been in a brutal power struggle with the military since April 2023….
Amira and her family decided to flee early in 2025, desperate to find a safer area. But as they snuck out on a road south-west of the city, she says she was abducted by three armed men from the RSF and held captive. “I was locked in a room for two months, and every day one of them raped me in turn,” she recounts. After weeks in captivity, she discovered she was pregnant and became very sick….Months later, she gave birth at a hospital run by the International Medical Corps….
Eight months after giving birth, Amira has been unable to register her son’s birth.
“Even getting a birth notification from the hospital requires information that doesn’t exist,” says Amira, explaining that she is unable to provide any details about the child’s father.
Without this she cannot organize any official recognition of the baby’s legal identity.
“I can’t get him vaccinated, or enroll him in nursery or school,” she says.
Amira’s story is not an isolated case, but part of a reality repeated in areas experiencing conflict across Sudan.
Genocide was committed in western Sudan by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), the UN says.
The RSF have committed genocide against the Masalit people of Darfur in western Sudan. They slaughtered tens of thousands of the Zaghawa people, including thousands of children, after seizing the major city of el-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur. The RSF also has kidnapped thousands of people and held them for ransom, torturing many of them. The RSF has killed at least 250,000 people from non-Arab ethnic groups in Sudan’s western Darfur region.
Recently, monkeypox spread in the mountains of western Sudan.
Sudan’s civil war has already killed at least 400,000 people.
Sudan is in the midst of a civil war between Sudan’s armed forces, and a militia called the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Both sides have killed thousands of civilians using drones. In a village near El-Obeid, an RSF drone killed 65 people at a funeral gathering. Earlier, “a drone attack” by the RSF “hit a kindergarten in” the town of Kalogli in “south-central Sudan, killing 50 people, including 33 children,” reported the Associated Press. Then it returned to kill paramedics at the scene.
Millions of people in Sudan lost power last year due to drone strikes on a key power plant.
