Summary

The Guardian has geolocated eyewitness accounts of the capture of the Sudanese city of El Fasher by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) group and the ethnically-targeted massacres that occurred immediately afterward. Journalists are unable to access the area and have limited access to information. Guardian reporter Kaamil Ahmed explains how the testimonies, when combined with satellite imagery and videos posted by RSF fighters, provide the clearest picture yet of the horrific events that unfolded in El Fasher.


Video Summary

The video presents eyewitness testimony from Sudanese civilians who survived the RSF takeover of El Fasher. Through geolocated accounts, satellite imagery analysis, and verification of RSF-posted videos, The Guardian documents ethnically-targeted violence that followed the city's capture. The investigation overcomes the challenges of restricted journalist access to provide evidence-based documentation of the atrocities committed against civilians during and after the fall of El Fasher.
