New satellite images show bloodstains on sand and bodies scattered across El Fasher, North Darfur, Sudan, amid reports of mass killings by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the war-torn region.
Yale University’s Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) published the images in a journal on Tuesday new report after ceasefire negotiations for the country faltered in Washington and after RSF entered El Fasher on Sunday.
“Yale HRL finds evidence consistent with systematic mass killings of people outside El Fasher along the roadside in satellite images collected on October 27 and 28, 2025,” the report said.
The Wall Street Journal also reported Tuesday that U.S. intelligence assessments confirmed that the United Arab Emirates has increased weapons transfers to the RSF, including drones identified by Yale researchers.

Raymond said their lab “identified a CH-95 drone” visible in footage and that “the drone we identified was supplied to the RSF by the United Arab Emirates.”
Raymond’s team analyzed high-resolution images from Airbus DS, showing what they confirmed were bodies, blood and burned neighborhoods in El Fasher, where the RSF overran the city after a bloody 18-month siege.

“We started working on this surveillance in 2023 as part of the US State and Sudan Conflict Observatory,” Raymond said with his team, warning the United Nations that if El Fasher fell, atrocities would follow.
Since then, the team has spent 18 months independently documenting the siege and preparing reports for UN and US officials. “We told them we were approaching a genocide,” Raymond said.
He added that RSF troops “hid vehicles under trees, moved at night and attempted to evade tracking, mainly to conceal supply flights.”
Raymond also described satellite measurements with “objects on the ground corresponding to human bodies, approximately 1.3 to 2 meters [3 to 6 feet] long.”

The RSF takeover has left more than 2,000 civilians dead and 177,000 people trapped under the blockade.
Nationally, the war has displaced about 12 million people and killed 150,000 since it began in 2023.
Late last week there was hope that US-sponsored talks could achieve a breakthrough, but sources said this Middle eastern eye that the United Arab Emirates refused to address the situation in El Fasher.
Trump had revived efforts for peace for Sudan in July, including a ministerial-level meeting with what is called the “Sudan Quartet.”

“It is time for Trump to build on the legacy of Republican leadership in Darfur and call Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi and tell him to stop,” Raymond said.
“This is the same appeal that I will make tomorrow to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,” he concluded.
