"We end today's show looking at the devastating war in Sudan, the UAE-backed paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, the RSF, facing accusations of attempting to cover up its mass killings of civilians in the city of El Fasher by burning and burying bodies. That's according to a new report by Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab, which analyzed satellite images depicting RSF fighters likely disposing of tens of thousands of remains following its capture of El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, in October."
UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) is accused of attempting to conceal mass killings in El Fasher by burning and burying bodies. Satellite-image analysis by Yale's Humanitarian Research Lab shows RSF fighters likely disposing of tens of thousands of remains after capturing El Fasher, where at least 1,500 people were killed within 48 hours. The pattern of body disposal and destruction is ongoing. Drone strikes have plunged cities including Khartoum and Port Sudan into darkness. The conflict has killed over 150,000 people since April 2023, spread through Darfur and Western Kordofan, and risks expanding toward South Sudan, creating a widened humanitarian crisis amid a military stalemate.
