Abstract

This drawing was done by a 15 year old Darfuri teenager living in a refugee camp in Chad. It depicts Sudan's military helicopters to bomb villages and the burning of homes. The military is also seen using armored vehicles to fire mortar rounds at buildings to burn them down. Women are seen being abducted and buildings being sprayed with bullets so that none of the people in the villages are able to escape.
