'Thousands made slaves' in Darfur


'Thousands made slaves' in Darfur

Strong evidence has emerged of children and adults being used as slaves in Sudan's Darfur region, a study says.

Kidnapped men have been forced to work on farmland controlled by Janjaweed militias, the Darfur Consortium says.

Eyewitnesses also say the Sudanese army has been involved in abducting women and children to be sex slaves and domestic staff for troops in Khartoum.

Up to 300,000 people have died and 2.7 million have fled their homes since conflict began in Darfur in 2003.

Sudan's government has not yet commented on the allegations in the report, published on Wednesday.
