Port Sudan, Sudan ¨C New satellite imagery has detected activity ¡°consistent with mass graves¡± in the Sudanese city of El-Fasher, Yale researchers said in a report released Thursday, more than a week after mass killings were reported in the area.
On Oct. 26, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), at war with Sudan¡¯s army for more than two years, seized control of the key Darfur city they had besieged for nearly 18 months.
Satellite imagery has since revealed evidence of door-to-door killings, mass graves, blood-stained areas, and bodies visible along an earthen berm ¡ª findings that match eyewitness accounts and videos posted online by the paramilitaries.
