UNITED NATIONS – Human Rights Watch is accusing the Sudanese military of another mass rape in Darfur.

A new report by the rights group said members of Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces raped scores of women in the town of Golo in January.

Human Rights Watch previously reported on the mass rape of at least 221 women and girls in the village of Tabit in October.

The new report also describes a variety of killings and torture of civilians by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces during two major counterinsurgency campaigns in the troubled Darfur region over the past two years.

Human Rights Watch is calling on Sudan to stop the abuses and hold the military forces accountable. The group also calls on the U.N.-African Union peacekeeping mission in Darfur to better protect civilians.
