Sudan Events – Agencies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Darfur Regional Governor Minni Arko Minnawi said that the martyrs of the \u201cBattle of Dignity\u201d left behind a will urging steadfastness until justice is restored, Darfur is reclaimed, and Sudan becomes free again. He added, in a post on Facebook, that military operations will not stop until the militia lays down its arms, withdraws from citizens\u2019 homes whose sanctity it has violated, and until displaced people return to their lands.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the magazine \u2014 published an article by journalist Janine di Giovanni, who wrote that the war in Sudan does not require individuals to travel there to verify and document atrocities, as technology has advanced to the point where verification tools, attribution mechanisms, and methods for identifying perpetrators are readily available\u2014even at a time when independent journalists cannot access areas such as El-Fasher, and investigators struggle to reach the ground to verify information.<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cToday, there are open-source tools such as commercial satellite imagery, local video footage, and geolocation and chronolocation analysis. These have become essential sources for understanding what is happening. This is one of the positive outcomes of technological and cyber advancements in documenting crimes linked to genocide, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes, including sexual violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cSatellite images and digital reports have revealed an organized pattern of ethnic cleansing targeting specific groups\u2014a scene that recalls what happened in 2003, but this time before the eyes and ears of the world, and with extraordinary precision.\u201d<\/p>\n

She wrote further: \u201cIn recent months, there has been an unprecedented accumulation of visual and geographic evidence, all of it showing mass killings, summary executions, and attempts to erase or conceal these crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened in Darfur is the worst wave of mass killing since the Bosnian war,\u201d she said, adding that the sheer volume of evidence leaves no room for denial or claims that the incidents were isolated. \u201cIn the past, such crimes were committed far from the camera lens. Today, burned villages, displaced populations, and hidden mass graves are being documented in high resolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

She explained that in the absence of human rights organizations, judicial bodies, and the United Nations on the ground, open-source investigation groups have emerged as key actors in documenting atrocities\u2014similar to the work of the Yale University research center. Most of these groups consist of professional volunteers specializing in geography, artificial intelligence, and online forensic analysis. Their speed exceeds traditional investigative methods by many multiples, and they work with data of unquestionable credibility. These teams now provide the U.S. Congress and human rights organizations with detailed, reliable materials, making the atrocities committed in Sudan among the most thoroughly documented cases of mass violence and human rights violations in the modern era.<\/p>\n

What Janine di Giovanni highlighted clearly indicates that governments and organizations are not lacking information. As she notes, the information is abundant, supported by high-resolution images\u2014and she goes further by describing Sudan\u2019s war as the most documented in terms of evidence, visuals, and videos.<\/p>\n

Dr. Al-Hassan Mohamed Amin\u2014one of the first people to whom the article was sent, along with Sudan\u2019s former ambassador to Washington, Khidr Haroun\u2014affirmed the accuracy of Di Giovanni\u2019s conclusions. Dr. Al-Hassan, a computer expert who previously worked on artificial-intelligence systems, said: \u201cWhat Janine mentioned is true. Forget the satellite imagery for a moment\u2014aren\u2019t the videos that militia fighters themselves filmed while killing civilians enough to classify this militia as a terrorist entity?\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIf the army were the one committing these atrocities, they wouldn\u2019t hesitate to classify it as such, and might even have deployed forces under Chapter VII. But despite the evidence, they have taken no action against a militia they know to be murderous, lawless, and brutal\u2014not only because the UAE is funding them, but also because their interests require them not to intervene, at least not yet, as they are achieving some of what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThey have the images and evidence\u2014satellite-based and otherwise\u2014and they are fully informed about what happened and what is happening in Darfur, for instance. They have the mandate, but some major powers benefit from the current situation, while others possess the evidence but lack the will.\u201d<\/p>\n

He concluded: \u201cThe existence of this imagery is extremely important\u2014not only to pressure the international community to take a clear stance against the militia and its backers, but also to ensure that these perpetrators do not escape justice and will one day stand before a court to answer for these crimes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
