Sudan Osint posted that Mashad, also described as Youth for Darfur, documented 3,708 cases of rape and sexual violence against men and boys since the 2023 war began, including more than 900 cases involving people under 18. The post said the documentation cited detention abuses and attributed 73% of verified cases to the Rapid Support Forces and 27% to other armed forces; it did not identify those other forces.

Verification: unverified
