This is an image that appeared in Print Magazine.
The contributing editor wanted to make a point about the crisis in Darfur.
The yellow flames denote a “damaged” village, while the red flames denote a “destroyed” village. “Crisis in Darfur” is a section of Google Earth that superimposes documentary evidence of genocide and information about the Sudan conflict onto satellite imagery of the region.
It is amazing that the technology can show us what is going on around the world.
The impact that this could have had on past world traumas, such as World War II,
could have changed the course of history.
The author questions, "Google Earth and YouTube can find your house or your favorite music video in seconds. Can they help end genocide?"
