A child's pencil sketch on graph paper of several human figures, most of whom are carrying and firing guns, a truck with a mounted machine gun, an airplane, and a house. At the far right of the image, one of the figures carries a Sudanese flag while under fire from the occupants of the truck. Two of the other armed figures are firing upon the airplane, possibly representing resistance to the attackers.
