These satellite images of approximately 10,000 plus people fleeing Chad's capital and into neighboring Cameroon are sobering to say the least. The black dots denote people and the yellow shapes vehicles. Although taken with the unflinching eye of a satellite, it's interesting that, to me, these photos have as much impact as the up close and personal photographs taken by photo journalists on the scene. Will we as a species ever overcome the sort of hate, distrust, and misunderstandings that underpins and guides this mass scale violence? I just don't know.
