Port Sudan: 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...
On October 26, the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), engaged in a conflict with Sudan’s army for over two years, captured El-Fasher, a key city in Darfur they had besieged for almost 18 months.
Satellite imagery has revealed evidence of door-to-door killings, mass graves, blood-stained areas, and bodies visible along an earthen berm -- findings that match eyewitness accounts and videos posted online by the paramilitaries.
Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) report, released on Thursday, identified at least two earth disturbances that correspond with mass graves, located at a mosque and the former Children’s Hospital.
The satellite images also show smoke rising from fires around El-Fasher Airport, documented in imagery taken on October 26 and shared on October 31, 2025.
Summary
The satellite evidence strongly supports claims of mass killings and grave sites in El-Fasher, confirming eyewitness reports and highlighting the severe humanitarian crisis in the region.
