Alt Text

A child's sketch done with a blue pen on a torn sheet of graph paper that primarily depicts two heavily-armed humanoid figures. The figure on the left is wearing camouflage fatigues and brandishing a rifle, while the figure on the right is holding a rifle in each hand and is outfitted with large boots and belts around their chest and waist that appear to be holding additional ammo. Smaller illustrations of two houses and a group of three people, one of whom is holding spears, can be seen at the bottom of the page along with some notes in Arabic.
