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.
