New analysis of online videos, satellite images and eyewitness accounts has painted a chilling picture of atrocities committed during the capture of El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces. The findings reveal a campaign of violence against civilians that researchers say could constitute war crimes.
Investigations by the Sudan War Monitor and Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab drew on open-source material shared on social media by the paramilitaries themselves. Their findings offer damning documentation of the brutality that followed the RSF’s assault on 26 October.
