Footage coming out under 'Geneina Bleeds' (#الجنينة_تنزف) tag after signs of attack emerge from Geneina/Al-Junaynah (الجنينة) in #Darfur Sudan. Refugees moving west through city. Footage filmed from this exact loc: goo.gl/maps/qXqbVUdiV…. H/T to @TramaZoul for the 📹
Transparency of geolocation of footage of refugees moving west through Geneina/Al-Junaynah (الجنينة) in #Darfur, Sudan, along the main road that cuts through the middle of the city. Geolocated to here: goo.gl/maps/qXqbVUdiV… ImageImageImageImage
Footage indicates area where attack occurred in Geneina (الجنينة) #Sudan. This video was filmed from here: goo.gl/maps/Um9vbZrRT… & shows smoke rising from the far east side of the city near TAH6 highway. #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising
Geolocation of video situates origin of footage at fuel station on east outskirt of #Geneina (#الجنينة). His bearing to the black&white water tower is about 307° from the fuel pumps. Smoke is behind that. He was standing here: goo.gl/maps/1SXx1sutS… #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising ImageImageImageImage
By observing the geolocation of the video above, and the direction the cameraman was standing when he filmed it, I have identified a likely area of east #Geneina (#الجنينة) in Sudan's Darfur, where the burning happened. #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising
NASA Worldview's @NASAEarthData MODIS fire anomaly detection layer shows multiple fires in east of #Geneina (#الجنينة) #Sudan on Dec 30. Resolution is not too clear, but I have provided @googleearth imagery for reference. #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising

Area of burning more strongly identified using @sentinel_hub false color filter based on bands 8, 4 & 3 to show where burn marks were left by fire. Timelapse created below using EO Browser imagery of #Geneina (#الجنينة) from Dec 26 & Dec 31, 2019. #الجنينة_تنزف #SudanUprising

Google Earth has updated its satellite imagery of many parts of Sudan. Looking over West Darfur city of El Geneina, I am shocked at the level of destruction. In some parts, whole areas have been destroyed and cleared. Location: 13.4469, 22.4151 (dates: April 2023 & March 2024)
Image
Image
The burn damage around El Geneina's specialised hospital is incredible.
Image
Image
It's not just the widespread burning of structures that we see in El Geneina, as a result of the ongoing violence in Sudan, but there are also clear indications of structures that have been removed, like these warehouses, located at 13.43324, 22.41364

This video, reportedly showing an Israeli woman kidnapped, beaten and taken into Gaza, was filmed from Al Shuja-iyyah St in Gaza at about 10am this morning.

Geolocation: 31.503462, 34.466569.
@Cen4infoRes @GeoConfirmed @bellingcat

Verification 👇 maps.app.goo.gl/ZF1Dx23w7jm5Dr…
Verification of the location can be confirmed through the location of the minaret in the background, white dome in the near ground, and then the angle of the orange roof in comparison to the street.

Location: 31.503462, 34.466569.
Image
Image
Shadows seen in the footage, indicate that the sun had to have been at a position to cast those shadows in line, or just off, the same angle as the street at 10am, or just before 10am.

Lots of smoke rising over the skyline of Khartoum today as clashes continue between RSF and SAF forces in different areas of the city.
People in Sudan have shared these flyers in a plea for help over what's happening with a water purification plant that services a lot of Khartoum with clean water.

It has been badly damaged and safe access needs to be granted to allow for repairs to be made to the plant. ImageImage
The water treatment plant in Bahri appears to have been damaged in the initial wave of bombings in Khartoum. In satellite imagery on Google Earth from April 15 we can see a fire in the area, imagery from @planet on April 19 published by @hrw at least one building damaged. ImageImage

Racial hate speech has surged on Twitter, Telegram and other platforms to incite, promote and justify violence against Ukrainians since Feb 2022.

Our research at @Cen4infoRes has identified these networks, who they are and how they spread. Full report: info-res.org/post/incitemen… Image
The findings are based on data collected from Twitter and Telegram, looking at more than 1585 accounts and 480 channels and running follow up searches on numerous platforms.

Data was collected using keywords: Khokhols, Hohols and iterations used as anti-Ukrainian national slurs
The terms were selected given their prominence in Google Search trends. For example, the screenshot below shows the increase in the search of the term Khokhol which surged significantly after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Image

Last week I spoke at @journalismfest on how open-source intelligence is used to combat propaganda and uncover new information during Russia's war on Ukraine. Thank you for having me.

I promised to share a list of links to tools and sources. Here it is (I hope it helps) 👇 Image
I often share digital investigation skills, cases and sources at events to help remotely answer core questions such as:
WHERE & WHEN did it happen?
WHAT happened?
WHO is responsible?
And HOW can it be visualised?

So let's start with the case studies.
1: EyesonRussia.org - our community effort to document, verify and map Russia's invasion of Ukraine and share this info with the world.

Collaboration is key for this, from @Cen4infoRes @bellingcat @C4ADS incl volunteer groups @GeoConfirmed, GeoMouse and more.
