Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, in what the United Nations chief called a “terrible escalation” in the conflict.
Satellite images of El Fasher in Sudan's Darfur region show 'clusters' of objects 'consistent with the size of human bodies', according to analysts from Yale University
The call came during a meeting in the Egyptian capital Cairo between Abdelatty and his Sudanese counterpart Mohieddin Salem Ahmed on Wednesday to discuss the situation in Al Fasher, the capital of the North Darfur state, which was seized by the RSF on Sunday.
The paramilitary group RSF has been going door to door to find and kill non-Arabs in El-Fasher, the city in Sudan’s Darfur region they recently captured, and dumping the dead in piles. The scale of massacres is such that piles of bodies and pools of blood are visible in satellite imagery.
Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces is accused of executing dozens of people fleeing El-Fasher, the United Nations said, after the group overran the city that was the army’s last stronghold in the west of the country.
