The rape scandal in Aden comes just a short time after the rape of a woman in Al-Khukhah by a Sudanese soldier who was brought to fight as a mercenary, a crime that still reverberates in Yemen after the courageous attitude shown by the victim’s family in the face of intimidation.
Dozens of rapes revealed in Aden, Al-Khukhah and Mukha have been committed and victims and their families are forced to remain silent.
In Iraq, the international organizations have documented thousands of cases and published horrific images of those stories inside and outside Abu Ghraib prison. Trump has recently appointed CIA official involved in torture and rape in Iraq. No American soldier has yet been charged for these crimes.
