Satellite images and verified videos paint a harrowing picture of door-to-door mass killings in the Darfur region of war-torn Sudan.
Satellite images and verified videos paint a harrowing picture of door-to-door mass killings in the Darfur region of war-torn Sudan as the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary rebels captured a key city in the region. The Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at the Yale School of Public Health says they observed numerous clusters with discoloration around them, consistent with the appearance of human bodies across the city as RSF advanced. The apparent masses were seen in a hospital, all over residential neighborhoods, on the outskirts of the city and by military bases of the opposing Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF). The alleged killings took place "in under 72 hours since RSF took control of the city," Nathaniel Raymond, an American human rights and war crimes investigator at HRL who has been documenting the massacres in Sudan with satellite imagery, told ABC News. With his team at the research lab, Raymond said he observed "an explosion of objects that measure between 1.3 to 2 meters proliferate all over the ground," which HRL Yale concluded is human bodies due to the length, shape and videos from the ground showing alleged systematic civilian killings.
"In Daraja Oula -- a neighborhood where civilians have been hiding -- we're seeing a tactical posture on the vehicles that is highly consistent with house-to-house killing," Raymond told ABC News. "This is also consistent with video and testimony from those who reached Tawila. Particularly women, who said that the men are being separated by RSF and then they hear gunshots." The research lab also observed discoloration around these objects, which they concluded is blood, further confirmed by the presence of Rapid Support Forces (RSF) military vehicles always spotted in close proximity, Raymond said. An update on the report shows that the piles have grown and none of the original objects have moved, Raymond told ABC News. Researchers said they also corroborated reports of alleged executions at Saudi Hospital, where at least four clusters of bodies appeared. "We see a line of people standing on day one at an RSF detention facility that was formerly a children's hospital. On day two, we see a pile now in the corner consistent with the color and length of those individuals who are standing there in a line on the previous day," Raymond said. On the outskirts of El Fasher, HRL Yale also said they observed multiple clusters appearing between Oct. 26 and Oct. 27, consistent with reports of civilians being killed as they tried to flee. West of the city, along its encircling berm, at least six clusters were observed as well as adjacent technical vehicles, which were not seen in images from Oct. 28, suggesting RSF had moved, leaving the large clusters of bodies behind, according to the research lab.
RSF has also taken control of the opposing Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) military bases in the city, the HRL analysis appears to show. Satellite images from Oct. 26 show at least 15 new munition scars and thermal burns on the ground of the 6th Division HQ of the opposing Sudanese Armed Forces in a comparison with images from Oct. 15. "We've seen that all of the Sudan Armed Forces vehicles left en masse at about the same time. Which is consistent with reports that they escaped in the night in what now appears to be a negotiated deal with the Rapid Support Forces, leaving the civilians in Al-Fasher to die," Raymond said. During the offensive, El Fasher has been cut off from the outside world. Besieged for 18 months -- the UN called it the "epicentre of suffering" -- and now with RSF forces inside the city, there is no observable mass movement of people fleeing, likely prevented from escaping the alleged killings in what experts fear is just the beginning of devastating violence. In January, the U.S. State Department announced it had concluded members of the RSF had committed genocide in Sudan, specifically pointing to human rights violations in Darfur. Raymond says what we are seeing “is the final battle of the Darfur genocide that began 20 years ago.”
Compared to previous RSF offensives -- such as one in April on the largest displacement camp in Darfur, ZamZam -- humanitarian observers are suggesting the new satellite imagery shows a more systematic way of killing that is making them warn of a possible genocide unfolding. “Here, in the case of El Fasher, what's different? They're not burning the city to the ground. They have the city encircled. They are controlling the entrance and exit. And they are moving pretty systematically, unlike ZamZam. Pretty systematically, block by block. And as they move, we see objects consistent with bodies, often with discoloration, appear,” Raymond told ABC News. From testimony on the ground, those who have fled said that men have been separated from women and children, who are now likely in hiding, but are next in the firing line, Raymond said. “It's now going to accelerate,” he said. “We haven't even hit top velocity. The people that they will kill now are those who are hiding. And they're mostly women and children… Now it'll be those who were too weak to run or those men who were hiding and trying to protect them from the RSF.”
today is my first day back on vyvanse in awhile and i forgot how i could actually do things on it because my brain was quiet for a minute
electrolyte water made, overnight oats overnight-ing, breakfast sandwiches ready to go, clothes for the week washed, and i just need to make it through thursday until i can have a staycation with my girlfriend
being in the relationship im in now makes me glad nothing else ever worked out
You see I too often sat in school classes and thought “when am I ever going to need this, I’m never going to be an engineer, I’m never gonna be a scientist, I’m never gonna be a linguist” and then I grew up and it turns out a lot of bigots and cults and scams and grifts hinge their entire business model on you just. Not knowing what a protein is or some shit
being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?
King of the Hill is back! Don't forget Jonathan Joss (John Redcorn) didn't just die he was murdered for being gay and married to a trans man.
The next hearing for his murderer is August 18th I think. They asshole is more offended that he's being called a homophobe (he has a gay brother gasp!) than murderer (which isn't even in question he confessed immediatly and there were at minimum 5 witnesses)
The media tried to blame it on Joss’ past mental health and addiction issues. He's somehow also supernaturally strong and big and scary and that's not racist at all says white cops.
Please don't forget him. He was so proud and excited for king of the hill. You don't deserve to be murdered because a white dude says u need to die
A Two Spirit Indigenous Man was brutally murdered. And mainstream media has already forgotten about it.
I haven't seen a lot of people outside Native circles posting about Jonathan Joss since Pride month, and I really hope that changes.
Because his murderer Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez and Alvarez's friends and lawyer are already trying to spin this. Suddenly he's the "alleged" and "accused" murderer, despite the fact that the murder was witnessed by multiple people and also he confessed. But he's out on bond, ON MURDER CHARGES, and suddenly the news has all sorts of stories from anonymous sources about how Joss was dangerous and unstable, that he had a history of substance abuse and mental health issues that apparently make him an acceptable target for—and I really cannot emphasize this enough—MURDER. He used to go outside and scream sometimes so it was self-defense to shoot him (and burn down his house, and kill his dogs, and rifle through the ashes for the bones of his dogs to taunt him with them).
The pressure that people put on the police when the story first broke was enough to make them walk back their initial insistence that it wasn't a hate crime. Non-natives need to keep that pressure up. The cops, who never followed up on the many, many, many complaints made against Alvarez (not just by Joss, but other neighbors as well) have a vested interest in burying this, giving this man a slap on the wrist, and shrugging their shoulders at another dead Indian. And I would like to believe that the queer people who pushed back against the not-a-hate-crime narrative care enough about Natives to not let that happen. I'd really love to believe that.
it bugs me how many lesbians have issues with trans women. like, we're supposed to love women. what's next, you gonna start hating short people too? fuck off.
AND TRANS GUYS. "ooohhhhh they're betraying womanhood" no, they're men. jfc not everything is a personal attack some people are just guys.
reblog this version too actually
You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.
