Satellite Photos of Torit

Here are some Google satellite photos of sites in the Torit area. They are several years old, and so don't show the new construction that has taken place recently. They do show, however, the devastation wrought by the war. You can zoom in or zoom out by using the scroll function on your mouse, or by clicking on the plus or minus buttons to the left of the image. You can move the image in any direction either by right clicking and holding down your mouse and dragging the image, or by clicking on the directional arrows in the upper left corner of the image. If you zoom out far enough, you willbe able to see the whole country of Sudan, and further, the entire continent of Africa!
