Recently, Amnesty International launched Eyes on Darfur (http://www.eyesondarfur.org/),
an innovative and powerful website utilizing photographs and high-resolution satellite
imagery to communicate the crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan. The satellite images track
human rights violations before and after reported attacks, highlighting changes in houses
and vegetation in villages throughout the region. While the images only track the change
in landscape, the implied damage provides compelling evidence and visual aids for the
indisputable atrocities that are devastating this part of the world.
