A child's drawing in blue pen and crayons on worn, white paper that depicts a village and its residents that have been viciously attacked by armed assailants and military-type vehicles. Most of the villagers lie horizontally on the ground, likely indicating they are dead or dying, while three houses behind them burn from firebombs dropped by helicopters.
