South Sudan lets fighters rape women as payment, the UN rights office said on Friday, describing the country as “one of the most horrendous human rights situations in the world.”
“The assessment team received information that the armed militias… who carry out attacks together with the SPLA (South Sudanese army) commit violations under an agreement of ‘do what you can and take what you can’,” the rights office said in a new report.
“Most of the youth therefore also raided cattle, stole personal property, raped and abducted women and girls as a form of payment,” the report added.
