Thousands of bodies found in unmarked graves in Khartoum

Many of those missing in Khartoum state are believed to be buried in unmarked graves, where tens of thousands of bodies have been discovered since Sudan’s civil war began. Authorities have recovered 23,000 corpses, but tens of thousands remain buried in mass graves.

Forensic teams working amid ongoing conflict

As the conflict continues, forensic teams are struggling to recover and identify the dead. One team has buried 7,000 bodies since the war began, while reports indicate that ethnic massacres in Darfur have killed thousands of people, with many left unmarked.

Mass graves discovered near Khartoum

More than 500 people may have been tortured or starved to death and then buried in a secret mass grave located north of Khartoum. The United Nations has also identified three mass grave sites in two different parts of South Sudan.
