Eyes on Darfur Project

Amnesty International USA’s unprecedented Eyes on Darfur project leverages the power of high-resolution satellite imagery to provide unimpeachable evidence of the atrocities being committed in Darfur -- enabling action by private citizens, policy makers and international courts.

Eyes on Darfur also breaks new ground in protecting human rights by allowing activists from around the world to literally “watch over” and protect vulnerable villages in the Darfur region using satellite imagery.

The Eyes on Darfur project launched on June 5, 2007.

		ANGABO \| On November 13, 2006, 150 armed men riding horses and camels attacked Angabo while a helicopter flew overhead. The militia then set fire to the village. At least 12 people were killed.
		BIR MAZA \| On 15 November 2006, government soldiers and Janjawid attacked a swathe of land between the market town of Bir Maza and Lake Jineik. "It was the worst time of my life," said Omda Hamid Manna of Bakaore. "In one attack we lost everything."
		LIGEIDIBA \| Between August 28 and September 17, 2006, militias attacked at least 43 villages in southern Darfur. Nearly 1000 armed men attacked. They came on camels and horses, wearing uniforms identical to those of the Sudanese regular army.
		SHANGIL TOBAY \| Within days of a major attack on nearby villages in 2005, frightened families began arriving in Shangil Tobay. Today it is home to more than 200,000 displaced people packed into two camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Eyes on Darfur is made possible by the financial support of the Save Darfur Coalition. Technical support provided by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
