Abstract

Drawing that depicts how Sudan's military used helicopters to drop bombs on villages in Darfur in addition to using trucks mounted with machine guns that had the capability of firing ammunition with more devastating impact. The military's cavalry was also extensively used and most of the soldiers who mounted the attack communicated using walkie talkies.

Alt Text

A child's drawing in blue pen on graph paper depicting seven or eight human figures, a truck with a mounted gun, a helicopter, and a horse. The helicopter, which has a visible human figure in its cockpit, is dropping something onto another person whose arms are lifted straight into the air, possibly in fear or alarm. Another one of the figures rides a horse, while yet another is speaking into a walkie-talkie. There is handwriting in Arabic at the top of the page and under some of the sketches.
