DigitalGlobe and Enough Project Formalize Partnership to Monitor Mass Violence in Sudan

DigitalGlobe

today announced an agreement with the Enough Project to continue providing unrivaled imagery and analysis services to monitor evidence of bombings, razed villages and possible threats to civilians in Sudan in an effort called the Satellite Sentinel Project (SSP). In addition to the imagery and analysis provided under the terms of this new agreement, DigitalGlobe will also contribute additional in-kind services. "This partnership between DigitalGlobe and the Enough Project represents a game-changing leap forward in how to document evidence of crimes against humanity," said George Clooney, who founded the SSP with Enough Project co-founder, John Prendergast. DigitalGlobe's expert analysts will continue to analyze imagery and information from sources on the ground and produce situational awareness reports of the possibility of mass violence in Sudan and South Sudan. The Satellite Sentinel Project then releases the reports to news organizations and policymakers and quickly notifies a mobile network of activists through social media.
