(Nabaa Sudan) – US-based Yale University said that El-Fasher, the capital of North Darfur State, is now almost entirely devoid of civilians, one year after the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia seized control of the city.
Yale University added that satellite imagery revealed extensive areas of the city covered with grass, indicating an absence of movement by civilians, animals and vehicles.
RSF media outlets have regularly circulated manipulated videos in recent months purporting to show civilians still living in El-Fasher. Witnesses, however, say that the militia recruits civilians from other parts of Darfur and brings them into the city specifically to film them in an effort to attract UN humanitarian assistance.
