In a miserable conflict of untold suffering and humiliation, the story spilling from Awatif Ahmed Salih's mouth marks a new nadir by even Darfur's warped standards.
For three days she was held at gunpoint along with dozens of other women in the Darfur town of Deribat. For two nights she was ferried to a government camp to become the plaything of a senior Sudanese soldier.
"There were men coming and going all the time so the idea was to keep your eyes down so they would not pick you," said the 16-year-old after fleeing deep into the mountains of Jebel Mara and the safety of rebel-held territory.
In a region where few women are able to talk openly about such personal matters, Awatif speaks with a quiet dignity, explaining how she wished for death rather than to be forced to have sex with the officer.
United Nations human rights monitors have investigated the attack on Deribat and eight surrounding villages, interviewing women gang-raped daily for a week. Some victims were as young as 13.
While women face the random threat of rape at the hands of marauding government soldiers and their Janjaweed allies if they dare to leave the safety of aid camps, a report by the UN High Commission on Human Rights concludes sexual violence was used as a deliberate tactic in Deribat.
"The High Commissioner is seriously concerned that rape, and other sexual violence during the December 2006 attacks, was used as a weapon of war to cause humiliation and instil fear into the local population," it concludes.
"The systematic use of rape to punish and humiliate local communities is a war crime."
It is almost six months since the attack on Deribat. Its location on the eastern edge of Jebel Mara, way beyond the reach of aid agencies, means that stories like Awatif's have gone unheard - until now.
Several thousand people have fled the scene of continuing fighting to find refuge in areas under the control of the Sudan Liberation Army.
More than 200,000 people have died and more than two million more have been forced from their homes by fighting.
Low-level conflict existed in Darfur for years, but the region exploded into widespread violence in 2003 when rebels from mainly settled, farming tribes took up arms against the Khartoum government.
The Sudan government responded by supplying arms to nomadic Arab militias, the Janjaweed ("devils on horseback") as they became known, who started to terrorise villages believed to be sympathetic to the uprising.
