A child's drawing in pencil, crayons, and red pen of a village of people, animals, and homes under attack by men in green uniforms with assault weapons. Some of the attackers are on foot, some are riding on camels or horses, while still others are riding in trucks with mounted machine guns, but all are firing indiscriminately into the crowd of villagers and their burning homes behind them. The animals of the village are also seen scattering and trying to flee.
