The baby bouncing on Nesma's lap has his mother's smile and her curious eyes, but nothing she says of the three paramilitary fighters who gang raped her two years ago in Sudan's capital. "I saw their faces. I remember them," the 26-year-old university graduate told AFP. Baby Yasser is one of thousands of children born to rape survivors in the three years of fighting between Sudan's army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces.
