A new report by the Satellite Sentinel Project, "In Close Proximity: Alleged Abduction, Detention, and Extrajudicial Killings by Abu Tira," documents proof that the Government of Sudan's Central Reserve Police, or CRP, have engaged in war crimes against civilians and internally displaced people who sought refuge in the shadow of the U.N. compound in Kadugli, South Kordofan, Sudan.

A new report by the Satellite Sentinel Project, "In Close Proximity: Alleged Abduction, Detention, and Extrajudicial Killings by Abu Tira," documents proof that the Government of Sudan's Central Reserve Police, or CRP, have engaged in war crimes against civilians and internally displaced people who sought refuge in the shadow of the U.N. compound in Kadugli, South Kordofan, Sudan.

Satellite imagery, provided by DigitalGlobe and analyzed by the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative, shows clear evidence of the buildup of fortifications and significant reinforcement of apparent CRP personnel and vehicles between June 2 and August 19, just 100 meters from the U.N. compound in Kadugli, South Kordofan.
