The Guardian has geolocated eyewitness accounts of the capture of the Sudanese city of El Fasher by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces group and the ethnically-targeted massacres that took place in the immediate aftermath.

Journalists are unable to access the area and have limited access to information. Guardian reporter Kaamil Ahmed explains how - when combined with satellite imagery and videos posted by RSF fighters - the testimonies provide us with the clearest picture yet of the horrific events that unfolded.

After an 18-month siege, the Sudanese city of El-Fasher fell on Monday, October 27. It was the last major city in Darfur that was not under the control of the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) paramilitary group run by General Mohamed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo. Since entering the city, the RSF have massacred civilians in several neighbourhoods, as shown in images analysed by the FRANCE 24 Observers team.
