By Agence France-Presse A group of Sudanese doctors Tuesday accused security forces of carrying out attacks on hospitals and staff across the country and alleged some women had been raped near army headquarters in Khartoum. Protesters block a main street in the Sudanese capital Khartoum to stop military vehicles from driving through the area on June 4, 2019 (AFP/ MANILA BULLETIN) "They have been attacking hospitals for a very long time, since they came to power, in different parts of Sudan, especially in Darfur, Nuba Mountains and the Blue Nile" states, Hussam Almujammer told a news conference at the Royal College of Pathologists in London. "Hospitals have been systematically attacked and medical staff have been brutally... savagely beaten in Sudan," said Almujammer of the Sudanese Doctors Union. Hashim Mukhtar, also without giving specific dates, said women were being singled out in the showdown between Sudan's military rulers and demonstrators. A number of "women have been raped in one of the nearby neighbourhoods to the headquarters of the military council," he said, without giving specific details or details of how the group had learned of the assaults. "This situation cannot carry on. We want... pressure or actions at the level of the international community... to put on hold what is happening in Sudan," he said. The charges came as Sudan's protest movement called for fresh rallies after dozens of people were killed in what demonstrators called a "bloody massacre" by security forces on Monday. Protest leaders called for a campaign of "total civil disobedience" following the deadly dispersal of a weeks-long sit-in outside the army headquarters.
