Abstract

Drawing depicts a Darfuri home burning as a result of having been bombed by the Sudanese air force and infantry soldiers. Despite civilians trying to flee, they were ambushed by the Janjaweed militia who came riding camels. Military men on foot and those who used machine guns mounted on trucks also targeted civilians.
