Abstract

Drawing that depicts houses in a village in Darfur burning after military helicopters bombed them. Some were set on fire by infantry who shot any civilians.

Alt Text

A child's sketch on a lined notebook page that shows four buildings surrounded by fences that are being attacked from overhead by a helicopter that is dropping ordinance. Red colored pencil lines on the roofs of the four buildings indicate that they have caught fire. Between them, a small human figure holding a gun fires it at another person who has their back turned, possibly because they were trying to flee.
