Alt Text

A child's drawing in blue pen and red and brown crayon on lined paper that depicts an armed conflict between two groups of people drawn in a manner similar to a comic strip, with multiple scenes divided by solid lines. The figures colored in brown appear to be the aggressors against those colored red, with the first and second scenes both depicting brown-uniformed men firing guns at unarmed red-colored people and their animals. The third and fourth scenes show some of the people in red attempting to fight back, but ultimately failing.
