Fighters chuckle as they ride on the back of a transport truck, racing by a line of nine dead bodies and moving facing the setting African evening sky.

"See such work. Look at this mass destruction," a fighter shouts.

The fighter grins as he directs the camera on himself and his fellow fighters, their RSF badges clearly shown: "These people will all perish like this."

The combatants are exulting in a atrocity that humanitarian officials believe killed in excess of 2,000 people in the African city of al-Fashir last month.

A City Isolated from the World

Having held the city under siege for nearly 24 months, from August the paramilitary force moved to reinforce its position and prevent access for the surviving residents.

Orbital photography demonstrate that forces began to construct a enormous earth barrier - a elevated dirt embankment - around the edges of the city, sealing off roads and preventing aid.

As the siege worsened, seventy-eight people were slain in an RSF assault on a place of worship on mid-September, while the international organization said 53 additional were killed in unmanned aircraft and heavy weapon attacks on a displacement camp in fall.

Graphic Recording Depicts Defenseless Individuals Gunned Down

At dawn on late October the RSF conquered the final military strongholds and captured the central base in the city, the main facility of the Army Division, as the military withdrew.

One of the most graphic videos to surface and examined depicted the consequences of a massacre at a university building on the west of the urban area, where numerous dead bodies were seen scattered across the ground.

An elderly individual clad in a traditional garment was seated by himself amongst the corpses. He rotated to gaze as a fighter carrying with a weapon moved descending the stairs facing the individual. pointing his rifle, the fighter released a solitary round at the victim, who fell to the floor motionless.

"How come is this one still alive," one fighter shouted. "Kill this one."

Space-based imagery taken on October 26th seemed to verify that executions were also performed on the streets of the city, as reported by a report issued by the academic research center.

One observer who spoke reported they had seen "numerous of our relatives being massacred - they were gathered in one place and everyone murdered."

Paramilitary Officers Seek to Implement Reputation Management

Following the events that followed the massacre, RSF leader conceded that his forces had committed "wrongdoings" and said the occurrences would be looked into.

Among those detained was after a report recording his murders. Meticulously choreographed and produced recording published on the paramilitary's authorized messaging platform show him being escorted into a detention area at a prison on the outskirts of the city.

Meanwhile, the RSF and associated online profiles started seeking to alter the story.

Content presenting its combatants providing aid to residents were shared by several accounts, while the paramilitary's communications team released several clips purporting to demonstrate the proper handling of government detainees.

In spite of the online campaign being used by the paramilitary, their actions in al-Fashir have provoked international condemnation.
