RSF Deliberately Resort to Starvation Tactics in Sudan War: ResearchThe Rapid Support Forces deliberately destroyed farmland in North Darfur to undermine food production and induce starvation ahead of their siege of the state capital, El Fasher, the Humanitarian Research Lab of the US Yale University revealed based on the satellite and sensor-based analysis. Vast agricultural areas—once essential to local communities—have been systematically burned and abandoned, with destruction equivalent to 41 entire farming communities, the research found.Satellite analysis shows 68% of affected villages now lack any signs of viable human habitation or basic survival conditions.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
