DigitalGlobe (NYSE: DGI), a leading global content provider of high-resolution earth imagery solutions, today announced that it has collaborated with the Satellite Sentinel Project to deliver the first images and analysis of the evolving situation in Sudan following the country’s historic vote on independence. The images and analysis, available at www.digitalglobe.com and at www.satsentinel.org, are helping the Project and its collaborators to deepen understanding of and monitor the situation on the ground in Sudan. The high quality and resolution of the images clearly show Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) troops in areas of South Kordofan around the oil-producing Abyei region and other strategic areas along the North-South border, but analysis indicates that the troops do not appear prepared for imminent forward movement.
