Abstract

Drawing that depicts Sudan's military using a scorched earth policy in Darfur. Helicopters are seen bombing villages which then burst into flames. Some civilians trapped inside their homes and were burnt alive. Trucks mounted with heavy machine guns are also shooting at villagers, while those trying to flee are shot by soldiers and members of the Janjaweed militia.

A child's drawing in pencil and blue pen that depicts a rural village under attack from multiple sources, including trucks with mounted machine guns, helicopters and airplanes that are dropping fire bombs, and armed soldiers on foot. A few details drawn with a red pen are seen on the roofs of a few buildings, indicating they are on fire. Similar red markings cover the body of a person lying on the ground, likely dead. Unarmed villagers, including women and children, are seen attempting to flee in several different parts of the drawing.
