Alt Text

A child's drawing on a lined notebook page that depicts a row of small houses and multiple human figures scattered around them. Directly above the houses is a multi-colored helicopter that is dropping some kind of bomb down on them, as a woman and two children flee from the burning buildings. A gunman on horseback and another riding a camel stand to the right of five other figures, including two women who are carrying goods on their heads and a man who runs toward the attackers, carrying a gun of his own.
