Relatives of the Sudanese trapped in Al-Fashir fear the worse as at least up to 150,000 people remain unaccounted for following the entry of the Rapid Support Forces into the city. The UN reported that up to 62,000 people fled Al-Fashir many to Tawila, which is 60KM away, but Al-Fashir had at least up to 260,000 residents before the RSF entered the city.
Communications services including internet in Al-Fashir have been cut following the city’s capture by the RSF. Aid-workers do not have access to the city but aid trucks that entered the city were taken under RSF control.
Residents who fled to Tawila have recounted stories of mass rape and summary executions by the RSF. Meanwhile, the RSF keep uploading videos of their atrocities with the latest video showing a university professor begging for a ransom to be handed over in ten minutes before he is shot and killed.
Satellite imagery of the city published by the Yale Humanitarian Research Lab and Vantor shows that the massacres by the RSF in Al-Fashir have been very extensive with piles of blood and bodies that could be seen from space.
