Just over five years ago Myanmar's military waged a violent campaign against the Rohingya in northern Rakhine.
This thread shows how @KayleighRuiter & the team documented 38,000 buildings destroyed during that campaign. π

We created this dataset of destroyed villages in Myanmar when the military ran its clearance operations in Rakhine State between 2017 & 2020.
Now it looks like villages are being destroyed again in Myanmar as seen on this map: myanmarwitness.org/fire-map

Since September we have seen an alarming rise in burnings of villages in Myanmar, many which are linked to the military. Today, we launch our @MyanmarWitness Firemap, which uses geolocation, satellite imagery & NASA FIRMS fire data to track these events myanmarwitness.org/fire-map

We traced a shipment of armoured vehicles from Vladivostok, Russia that arrived in Myanmar's Yangon yesterday.
This report shows how we made those findings using #OSINT techniques at @MyanmarWitness

For background on #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar, check out ocelli.c4ads.org, a free/public tool we built with @ocelliproject that uses PAI to catalogue the scale of systematic displacement and genocide in #Myanmar.

Big news out of Myanmar. French oil firm Total has pulled out of the country, cutting off a major source of funding for the military junta. Rights groups have been campaigning for this for a long time. totalenergies.com/media/newsβ¦

Adding this kind of context to imagery can make it a vastly more powerful resource β see our work with @ocelliproject on village destruction in Myanmar:

When we heard @KayleighRuiter, @BenDoBrown & @ocelliproject team were using PAI to catalogue village destruction across #Myanmarβs Northern Rakhine State, we wanted in.
Together, we built ocelli.c4ads.org, a public, free, replicable tool to track mass atrocity at scale.

How do you document mass atrocity at scale using PAI? We teamed up with @ocelliproject's @kayleighRuiter & @BenDoBrown to find out.
The result = ocelli.c4ads.org, the most comprehensive analysis of village destruction in Myanmar's Rakhine State between 2017-2020.

New satellite imagery from December 18 of Thantlang in Myanmar's Chin State shows the full scale of destruction in this once thriving town after it has been targeted numerous times. πΈ @Maxar

From the Myanmar Government's daily newsletter - "Buddhism has been flourishing in the Rakhine State".
Not difficult when you attempt to wipe out another religion from a whole State. See our work for visual evidence on the clearing of Rohingya homes.

Ominously, independent researchers @ocelliproject yesterday released a database of findings which suggests that, between 2017-2020, 38,000 homes were destroyed in Rakhine State. Of these, 24,000 were found to show signs of having burned down.

One sad thing about open source investigation is knowing there's so many situation that could be investigated if not for a lack of resources and skilled investigators, so it's great to see this work being done on Myanmar.
