New U.N. reports show more than 200 people killed, 150 people mutilated, and torture happening everywhere in Sudan.
The latest reports from human rights experts working with the U.N. show a really disturbing pattern of terrible things happening in Sudan, highlighting how badly we need a neutral team to help out the people caught in the middle.
The bad stuff documented includes all sorts of awful acts like killing, cutting people up, and torturing them, all happening way too often and with a lot of cruelty.
The experts found over 200 cases of murder and more than 150 cases of cutting people up in just the last year.
The number of torture cases is even higher, with lots of people who’ve been through it telling stories of being beaten up and tortured both physically and mentally.
The stories from survivors and people who saw it happen are just as bad, with some telling stories that make your stomach turn.
One person talked about being tortured for days, made to suffer as much as possible without dying right away, while another person talked about seeing their family members killed in a brutal way.

These numbers aren’t just random facts; they’re the real stories of people living through horrific things.
The scale of these crimes is made even clearer by what local people have to say. A young woman talked about how her neighbors had to run away from their homes, only to be caught and hurt by the bad guys.
Another old man cried when he talked about how his village was attacked, leading to the torture and killing of anyone who couldn’t get away.
Getting this information wasn’t easy. The people trying to find out had a lot of problems, like not being able to get into the areas where things were happening, being threatened by the bad guys, and not getting much help from the local people in charge.
Despite these challenges, the information they found is really eye-opening, showing just how bad things are for the people living in Sudan.
The U.N. investigation really shows how bad things are on the ground in Sudan. The terrible crimes they found are part of a bigger, planned-out attack on innocent people.
These reports make it even clearer that we need a neutral team to step in and help out.
