Abstract

Sudan's joint military forces comprising the infantry, Calvary, army trucks mounted with machine guns, and air force using helicopters attack villages in Darfur. This massive attack was an implementation of Sudan government scorched earth policy meant to subdue any opposition by killing civilians in Darfur region and destroying their property. This drawing is by a young Darfur boy who drew this picture in a refugee camp in Chad and depicts what he saw and witnessed first hand when his village was attacked.
