Tabit (town)

Tabit, also spelled Thabit, is a town in North Darfur, Sudan.

It has a population of 7,000 and lies thirty miles southwest of Al-Fashir.

[1][2] An investigation by Human Rights Watch (HRW) released in February 2015 said 221 were raped, which had also been reported days after the town was attacked but verification was difficult, by government soldiers in "a mass rape that could constitute crimes against humanity".

Witnesses said three separate operations were carried out in 30 October to 1 November 2014.

In addition to the rape of women and girls, they reported that property was looted, men arrested and residents beaten.
