Abstract

Drawing of Janjaweed, an Arabized militia group, attacking a village in the Bandus area in Darfur. These militia shot villagers and sprayed their huts with bullets before Sudan's military helicopter came in to drop bombs on those villages. This incident happened when the child who drew this picture was 10 years old. At the time of drawing this picture, the 13 year old Darfuri boy who drew the pictures was living in a Refugee camp in Eastern Chad.
