Google's much talked about online mapping service, Google Earth, will now draw public attention to reported continued atrocities in the Darfur region of Sudan.

The project was flagged off yesterday by Google along with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Under the aegis of this project, Google Earth has been updated with high resolution satellite imagery of Darfur that documents destroyed villages, displaced people, and refugee camps, among others.
