Humanitarian Crisis Mapping and Mass Atrocities in Sudan

On Oct. 17, Nathaniel Raymond, human rights investigator from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, talked about how actor George Clooney"s satellite project has arrived at the technological forefront of humanitarian aid, and how it operates to monitor and gather crucial evidence in the face of ongoing war crimes and crimes against humanity in the South Kordofan and Blue Nile states of Sudan.
