Alt Text

A child's pencil and crayon illustration on a worn sheet of white paper that depicts armed soldiers entering a village and firing upon its residents and their homes. Most of the soldiers are on foot while one rides a horse, but all are wearing green fatigues and firing machine guns. Most of the houses are on fire and some are even depicted as still having people inside. Several figures representing villagers lie bleeding on the ground while others try to flee or hide.
