A child's drawing in pencil and brown and red crayons on a graph paper notebook page of eight human figures armed with machine guns who are facing each other down in groups of four, with one group colored red and the other colored brown. The second red figure is holding his hands above his head in surrender while his fellows fire at the soldiers in brown, who are returning fire. On the right side of the page, a gunman in red fires his weapon into the roof of a small hut, which has caught fire. Notes written in Arabic are also seen.
