"The US Holocaust museum in Washington and Google Earth have teamed up for a project that weaves together satellite technology, photos and eyewitness testimony that amounts to a powerful indictment of the Sudanese government for Darfur.
Called Crisis in Darfur, the online mapping initiative provides Google Earth users with a chance to literally zoom in on the Darfur region, where the UN estimates some 200,000 people have died and 2.5 million people have fled their homes."
