TSX Hits Record High as Iran Deal Lifts Markets — Daily Update, June 16, 2026

Oil tumbles on Strait of Hormuz reopening framework. All eyes on the Federal Reserve as Kevin Warsh chairs his first policy meeting. Here is everything moving Canadian wallets today. Tuesday, June 16, 2026  |  MoneySavings.ca 🇨🇦 TSX — Another Record on the Books The S&P/TSX Composite closed at a fresh all-time high on Monday, June 15, topping 35,398 intraday before finishing near the upper end of its range.

Massacre from Above: Satellite Images Reveal Horror in Darfur

Satellite images have revealed the tragic aftermath of a 48-hour massacre in Sudan which saw over 2,000 civilians executed by paramilitary rebels

Satellite imagery has exposed chilling evidence of mass killings in El-Fasher, Sudan, where over 2,000 civilians were executed in just 48 hours following the city's capture by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

In late October 2025, the paramilitary RSF seized El-Fasher, the last major stronghold of the Sudanese military in the Darfur region. What followed was a brutal ethnic purge that has shocked the world. Satellite images analyzed by Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) show pools of blood and piles of bodies scattered across the city—disturbing visuals that are visible from space.

The RSF reportedly went door to door targeting non-Arab civilians, executing women, children, and the elderly. The sand around El-Fasher is now stained red, with blood splatter so extensive it can be seen in high-resolution satellite photos. These images also reveal clusters of body-sized objects near hospitals and city outskirts, suggesting many victims were killed while trying to flee.

Despite a communications blackout imposed by RSF forces, eyewitness accounts and open-source intelligence have corroborated the satellite findings. The HRL report describes the imagery as consistent with ethnic cleansing and war crimes, raising urgent calls for international investigation and humanitarian intervention.

The fall of El-Fasher has effectively split Sudan into eastern and western zones of control, deepening the country’s humanitarian crisis. As global observers grapple with the scale of the atrocities, the satellite evidence serves as a stark reminder: even in the age of digital silence, the truth can still be seen from above.
