Episode notes
Satellite Evidence Of Systematic Killings
- High-resolution satellite imagery revealed systematic, rapid killings and human bodies around berms built by RSF in al-Fasher.
- Nathaniel Raymond says this atrocity was predictable and extensively monitored for 18 months before the slaughter.
Warnings Went Unheeded For Months
- Raymond recounts warning U.S. and U.N. officials repeatedly about an imminent siege for over a year.
- He argues this is possibly the most accurately monitored mass atrocity with early warning in history.
Three Actions That Might Have Prevented This
- Raymond says three actions could have changed the outcome: pressure the UAE, massive humanitarian access, and enforce UN Resolution 2736.
- He urges global pressure on the UAE now as the only lever left to stop the killings.
