Satellite Images Signal Ongoing Mass Killings After RSF Seizes Al-Faschir

UN officials describe the crisis as the world's largest, with tens of thousands fleeing or still trapped in Al-Faschir.

Overview

  • A Yale-affiliated team said imagery from Monday to Friday shows 31 clusters of body-like objects across homes, a university campus and military sites.
  • Sudan’s army accused the RSF of executing more than 2,000 unarmed civilians after the group took the city following an 18-month siege.
  • The UN reports about 65,000 people have escaped while many others remain in Al-Faschir, and basic supplies are scarce.
  • Médecins Sans Frontières denounced arbitrary and ethnically motivated killings and said far fewer displaced people reached nearby Tawila than expected.
  • Foreign ministers condemned the violence, the UK pledged £5 million in aid, and a UN panel previously found credible allegations that the UAE supplied advanced weapons to the RSF.
