This current *low* estimation would make El Fasher by far and large the largest single mass murder event of the 21st century, largest in 32 years actually (since Rwanda).
60.000 SIXTY THOUSAND. That's the latest estimation of the number of people who were slaughtered in El Fasher by the RSF these past weeks. The people of Sudan šøš© are suffering from genocide and the world is letting it happen.

Over the summer, dozens of people went missing at Gazaās Zikim crossing, where Israeli forces routinely gunned down Palestinian aid seekers. Weāve now found evidence suggesting they bulldozed some of the people they killed into shallow, unmarked graves. https://t.co/6CbX41UbMP

This report underscores the disturbing actions by the Tanzanian Government to suppress protestors. Evidence of mass graves show an unacceptable attempt to cover-up gross violations of human rights. There must be an independent investigation into these tragic acts immediately.
Geolocated videos from the scenes, audio forensic analysis of the shots fired and first-hand accounts from witnesses and victims document the brutality unleashed on young demonstrators following the re-election of President Samia Suluhu Hassan ā who claimed she won with 98% of

This is an absolutely brilliant piece and well worth the read - "'I think the visual lexicon of open-source investigation is something that the Israelis have co-opted as a way to try to delegitimize [those investigations] and confuse,' said Elizabeth Breiner..."
As someone who works very closely with satellite and 3D imagery, this project reinforced how crucial it is to question whatās rendered as truth. Keep an eye out for some follow ups in different mediums looking ahead Full story w/ @972mag via @OrenZiv_: https://t.co/jklQQ6Kzc3

@zeenasaifi Around the perimeter of Gaza City, rows of tents that were used for shelter have completely disappeared in just a matter of weeks - the displaced Palestinians living there have been forcibly displaced again.

@zeenasaifi The damage is particularly severe in al-Zeitoun and Jabalya - and the vast majority of it has been caused not by airstrikes or combat, but by the Israeli military slowly carrying out block-by-block demolitions with excavators and bulldozers.
