Nathaniel Raymond, executive director of the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab, and his team are analyzing satellite photos to monitor the mass killing this week of civilians in el-Fasher, Darfur, by Sudanese paramilitary forces.
What they see is evidence of genocide unfolding in real time, images consistent with “house-to-house killings” by Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, or RSF, and “bodies on the ground throughout multiple areas of el-Fasher,” Raymond told reporters.
Raymond was among a group of human rights and humanitarian aid workers who briefed reporters on what they say is a scale of violence unseen since the mass killings of civilians in Bosnia, Srebrenica, and an earlier wave of genocide a generation ago in Darfur.
