A circulating report alleges that a Yale-affiliated research lab disseminated satellite imagery of El Fasher while receiving undisclosed funding from Qatar, raising questions about transparency and potential political influence on its work.
The claims, attributed to unnamed “official U.S. sources,” further contend that the lab declined government requests to disclose the financing.
The report also references a France 24 English segment stating that some satellite images of livestock in Sudan were misinterpreted as mass graves. No documents or official statements were provided in the text to substantiate the funding allegations, and the referenced link was not available.
Yale and Qatari authorities were not immediately reachable in the source text, and the allegations could not be independently verified from the provided material.
