Episode description
Tens of thousands of people were killed in the Sudanese city of Al Fashir in the days after it was captured by a paramilitary group, analysts believe.
The Rapid Support Forces (RSF) have been at war with Sudan's army since 2023 and have been accused of carrying out ethnically-motivated mass killings and other atrocities.
Now, new satellite images appear to show ground stained with blood and scattered corpses around Al Fashir.
Are these images evidence of a genocide?
