| remote sensing protecting rights | Eyes in the sky As high-resolution satellite imagery from civilian sources becomes cheaper and more accessible, human rights activitists and environmental organisations are increasingly using it to uncover and investigate instances of abuse around the globe. Olivia Edward reports italglobe ig d january 2011 www.geographical.co.uk 31 The village of Angabo, Darfur, Sudan, on 21 June 2006. Angabo is one of a cluster of villages that was reportedly burned following the Darfur Peace Agreement in May 2006. This first attack was followed up six months later on 11 November 2006 by a larger attack that resulted in the burning of villages and an unspecified number of casualties. Two days later, the Janjaweed and Sudanese troops reportedly burned the village’s water centre and killed eight civilians. A comparison between this image and another taken on 15 February 2007 as part of Amnesty International’s Eyes on Darfur project revealed that more than 550 structures within the village had been completely burned, mostly in close proximity to the village centre
