US EditionReport Claims Sudanese RSF Buried El Fasher Civilians in Mass Graves
Satellite images reveal fresh mass graves and attempts to conceal evidence after RSF seized el-Fasher, with at least 7,000 civilians reportedly killed in targeted massacres, experts say.
- On Oct. 26, the Rapid Support Forces seized el-Fasher after an 18-month siege, and United Nations and rights monitors reported widespread atrocities, including ethnically-driven killings and abductions.
- After a falling-out between Gen. Mohammed Hamdan Dagalo and Gen. Abdel-Fattah al-Burhan, the Rapid Support Forces and Sudanese army have been at war since April 2023 over control of Sudan.
- Satellite analysis showed high-resolution imagery revealed too many bodies to count, with evidence of mass graves and bodies being burned, and The Sudanese Doctors' Network said `These crimes will not be erased by cover-ups or arson`.
- Since the RSF takeover, more than 16,200 people have fled to camps in Tawila, and the UN Human Rights Office warned around 71,000 were displaced, with aid groups urging urgent food, medicine and shelter support.
- With fighting spreading toward Kordofan, Analysts on Sudan's war say the RSF victory in el-Fasher marks a turning point, while UN agencies warn over 24 million face food insecurity and over 14 million are displaced.
