Satellitenbilder zeigen, dass RSF-Massaker die sudanesische Stadt zu einem „Schlachthof“ machten

> Sarah Champion, chair of the Commons international development select committee, said: “Members received a private briefing on Sudan, at which one of the academics stated: ‘Our low estimate is 60,000 people have been killed there in the last three weeks.’”

>As many as 150,000 residents of El Fasher remain unaccounted for since the city fell to the RSF. They are not thought to have left the city, and this grisly development comes amid increasingly gloomy speculation about their fate.

> No expert or agency has been able to explain the whereabouts of the tens of thousands of residents who have been missing since El Fasher – the army’s last major stronghold in the region – was overrun on 26 October after the RSF’s brutal 500-day starvation siege.

>The Guardian has spoken to sources who describe El Fasher residents being held in detention centres in the city, though the numbers still detained are small.

> Human rights experts now believe El Fasher is likely to be the worst war crime of the Sudanese civil war, which is already characterised by mass atrocities and ethnic cleansing.

>Over 32 months of ruinous war, the country has been torn apart, with as many as 400,000 people killed and almost 13 million displaced. The conflict has caused the world’s biggest humanitarian crisis.

>Meanwhile, there have been renewed calls for a thorough investigation into an RSF attack on the Zamzam displacement camp seven miles (12km) south of El Fasher six months earlier.

>A new report by Amnesty International documents how the RSF targeted civilians, took hostages, and destroyed mosques and schools during a large-scale attack on Zamzam camp. It has called for the RSF to be “investigated for war crimes”.

Everytime we regret about not helping when a genocide happens but then does nothing when the next one happens.

Ah – so *that*’s what all those outraged people are protesting about at universities. 

It’s heartbreaking that the only way the world learns about places like this is through satellite images after the damage is already done. Conflicts leave scars long before anyone outside even notices, and communities end up paying the price in silence.

It’s just not relevant or interesting to most and Sudan isn’t geopolitically significant country. Part of why e.g. Israel is constantly in publicity is that it has lots of enemies and many are taking advantage of the situation.

Terrible situation but let them do what they have been doing for decades.

Horrifying

Never again, we’ll say again

Not a blip on the news. Anywhere. I only learned about this a few weeks ago on YouTube. Just outrageous complicity by the media. What happened to journalism?
