Summary

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?

Mark Austin is joined by Sky News' Africa Correspondent, Yousra Elbagir.
