We were sex slaves, say captives of Janjaweed

Young women captured by the government-backed Janjaweed militia, who are accused of a reign of terror in Sudan’s Darfur region, say they were used as sex slaves and servants. Two young women, one carrying a baby, who arrived in the abandoned village of Kour, said they had been kidnapped then released in the middle of the desert because the militia did not want to be burdened by the child.
