Alt Text

A child's pencil and color crayon drawing on white paper of a village under siege by armed men on foot, on camelback, and in a pickup truck with a mounted machine gun. The two houses seen are depicted with red lines on their roofs, indicating they are burning from the gunfire of two of the armed assailants, who are seen shooting directly into the buildings. A group of women and children are shown trying to flee, and there is a male human figure near the center of the illustration who is wielding spears and appears to have killed one of his attackers.
