Deribat

Deribat (Arabic: دريبات) is a town located in South Darfur, Sudan, east of Jebel Marra.

[2] During the War in Darfur, in December 2006, Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and allied Janjaweed militia reportedly attacked villages in and around Deribat.

The systematic use of rape as a weapon of war is a violation of the Geneva Conventions and is punishable by the International Criminal Court.

The main supply route to Deribat was closed by government forces, isolating the area and driving away aid organisations.

A Darfur rebel group retaliated, reportedly killing 37 government forces and seizing a military base.
