NAIROBI, Kenya — The soldier pointed his AK-47 at the female aid worker and gave her a choice.
"Either you have sex with me, or we make every man here rape you and then we shoot you in the head," she remembers him saying.
She didn't really have a choice. By the end of the evening, she had been raped by 15 South Sudanese soldiers.
On July 11, South Sudanese troops, fresh from winning a battle in the capital, Juba, over opposition forces,
went on a nearly four-hour rampage through a residential compound
popular with foreigners, in one of the worst targeted attacks on aid
workers in South Sudan's three-year civil war.
They shot dead a local journalist while forcing
the foreigners to watch, raped several foreign women, singled out
Americans, beat and robbed people and carried out mock executions,
several witnesses told The Associated Press.
