Over the last few weeks we noticed a number of posts on social media streams in Sri Lanka targeting the minority community with posts related to COVID19. Some of these posts were misleading and we debunked several such stories such as a year old procession in Beruwala misinterpreted as recent<\/a> and an incident related to a COVID19 recovered patient <\/strong>roaming Puttalam<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a similar note, FactCrescendo Sri Lanka flagged a social media post that ran on 12th April claiming that the waters of a Bangladeshi river turned blood red, allegedly because of the genocide of Buddhist by Islamists in Bangladesh. Facebook user Shanika Ekaynayake<\/a> from Kandy, Sri Lanka posted the below post which went viral, with a number of other users sharing similar content as well. The post, which can be seen below was accompanied by Sinhala extensive text<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roughly translated, this means: Throwback to 10th April 1992. This river of blood, flowing down silently, is the blood of our indigenous Buddhists in Bangladesh, estimated to be nearly 300 innocents, who had been brutally murdered by settler Muslims on 10th April 1992. Due to this shocking genocide, this particular village came to be known as ‘Lo Gang’ which means the ‘River of Blood’. This is the life that minority Buddhist live in Bangladesh today. The murderers still live freely. Human rights do not always work on the minority’s side. These types of incidents are quite common in the area, but few are reported, coupled with other crimes such as rape, harassment, ethnic cleansing etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the sensitivity of the subject and the potential harm such posts can cause, FactCrescendo Sri Lanka investigated the authenticity of the image, its location and the date of the genocide mentioned in the contents of the post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FACT CHECK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We began with a Google Reverse Image <\/a>search to see if the image was used in other posts outside of the country. The search results indicated that the image could have been from several other locations, primarily in the African continent such as Kenya, Nigeria, the Congo and Rwanda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A YouTube video, posted on March 30th<\/sup> , 2020 with the title \u201cLA FIN DU MONDE RIVI\u00c8RE QUI S\u00c9PARE LE CONGO ET LE RWANDA S’EST TRANSFORM\u00c9E EN SANG….\u201d meaning \u201cTHE END OF THE RIVER WORLD THAT SEPARATES CONGO AND RWANDA HAS TRANSFORMED INTO BLOOD \u2026\u201d, indicated that the image in the viral Facebook post could have been a screenshot taken from the same video.

Running a frame-by-frame analysis of the video and then using each frame in additional Google Reverse Image search indicated that the location of the video was Ghana. An online newspaper from Ghana (PRIME News Ghana<\/a>) ran the story on this on 7th October 2017 saying the water of a river New Juaben Region had suddenly turned red one Saturday that month and that it was taken for laboratory testing. The article runs with a similar video of the location taken from a different angle as can be seen below:-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further investigations revealed that yet another Ghanian online publication (Ghana Web<\/a>) ran the story two days later with more information such as the name of the village being Koforidua and the river\u2019s name, Nsukwa.  The article also details a police report made by Chief Inspector Ebenexer Sekyi where it is mentioned that a tie-and-dye powder was poured into the river by a nearby factory. The article also features an additional video, more extensive than the original and yet clearly connected to the viral image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both articles note that evangelists have claimed the incident to a Biblical sign of the end times. The Ghana Web article debunks this perspective with the scientific evidence provided stating the local police had confirmed the incident had occurred due to local manufacturer pouring dye powder into the river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A further search for the locations provided in both articles on Google Maps<\/a> also revealed the accuracy of the region and the Koforidua village as seen below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering the original post mentioning Bangladesh as the location, we also ran a further search with the keywords \u2018Bangladesh\u2019, \u2018River\u2019 and \u2018Blood\u2019 to discover a BBC news story from September 2016 <\/a>that indicated that the annual EID animal slaughter in Dhaka turned the city\u2019s flood water red as can be seen below. However, the images have no similarity to the original image from the viral post and no reference to genocide was mentioned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
