Plenty of Indonesian security forces have been recently lining up for a nice photo opportunity overlooking the Freeport Mine near #Tembagapura in #WestPapua. It's crucial resources like this that contribute to such conflicts.

Alleged #AlShabaab attack on airstrip near Camp Simba (used by US & Kenyan forces) hours ago. Location of airstrip is here: goo.gl/maps/7WqtDTSiY…. Smoke seen emerging from the #Lamu base in open source imagery. This thread is to verify imagery.
This image of smoke rising from alleged attack area was taken south east of the air strip. The multicoloured building seen is located here: goo.gl/maps/jJvhjWUqL…. The light in the foreground of the image is on the barrier of the Lapset Compound.
This footage, originally uploaded to FB today, was filmed from this exact location not far from the image above: goo.gl/maps/HZnoxJexc…. Credit to @TerraServer for updated imagery as @googleearth does not have completed construction of Lapset Compound. #Kenya #Lamu

Who is behind a pro-govt bot network pushing propaganda out of Indonesia on #WestPapua? @elisthoma5 & I ran an #OSINT investigation to find those responsible.

Follow this thread to explore a dark & murky world of disinformation networks

How did we start this investigation? You might have seen this illustration on Twitter already. It’s a network visualisation I made in @Gephi after capturing five days of activity on Twitter that used the #WestPapua & #FreeWestPapua hashtags.
With the visualisation, we were able to identify a number of @Twitter bots, & dive into the accounts they were interacting with. While many were #bots using K-pop star images, many linked to sites & other platforms. You can see my 'how to' on @bellingcat bellingcat.com/news/2019/09/0… ImageImageImageImage

I captured five days of tweets using #WestPapua & #FreeWestPapua tags after a crackdown by Indonesian forces against Papuans in Aug. What I found was a bot network spreading pro-govt propaganda.

Follow this thread for an #OSINT journey with a @Twitter network analysis
👇👇👇
This is a representation of all of the twitter activity I captured. The dots are the nodes which are accounts. The lines between them are retweets, mentions or likes. I have used the open source visualiser @Gephi to illustrate this network & to conduct 'bot-spotting' 🤖
How does this help? With this visualisation we can spot irregularities. Just like a moth in a web, we notice this far-removed cluster of accounts over to the left, with a very unnatural network pattern. This thread will look at WHO they are, WHAT they do, and HOW they run.

#THREAD Tension is high in #Chile as large demonstrations are taking place in many cities, following days of incidents culminated with the state of emergency being declared and curfew (for the first time since the dictatorship) being issued👇

Geolocating places of interest (mostly airstrikes) in #Syria:

1/
First, a few housekeeping items:

Some videos linked in this thread will be very graphic or otherwise difficult to watch. I will do my best to keep the gruesome stuff out of my pictures but will provide a link to the source material whenever possible.

2/
I'm going to start by threading a few posts so that I don't lose them. New posts will be added when there is military activity in Syria and I have time.

Pro-Assad trolls will be blocked.

On this day in 2006, the 'Lusi' Mud Volcano was born. This was the start of the worst mud volcano disaster in history. A truly unique tragedy.

Lusi is today's #MudVolcanoOfTheDay & the third thread in the #MuddyMay 'Mud Volcano Disasters' series.

Video courtesy of @Greenpeace
The Lusi mud volcano was born before dawn on the 29th May 2006. Hot mud started gushing out of a new hole in the ground in a rice paddy in the town of Sidoarjo.

At rates of ~5000 cubic meters per day, the mud quickly started to flood nearby lands.
The Lusi mud volcano is located in Sidoarjo, which is just south of Surabaya, the second largest city on Java.

Location here:
goo.gl/maps/83vZQurU3…

This was the first time that a new major mud volcano had erupted in the middle of an essentially urban area.

Today's #MudVolcanoOfTheDay is the Qarnyarq Mud Volcano in NE Iran. Short thread on an unusual looking mud volcano that looks kinda like a meteor crater!

#MuddyMay
Qarnyarq mud volcano is located In Iran, near the border with Turkmenistan and near the Caspian Sea. You can find it here:
goo.gl/maps/Scihh1y15…
The Qarnyarq mud volcano is set inside a roughly circular crater of ~500m diameter, with a central raised mud cone (~330m across) surrounded by its own little lake.

What a fascinating feature - it's kind of like the mud volcano has made its own little fort with a wall and moat!
