Burning Village

This is a painting of a burning village in Darfur done by a child at a refugee camp. This really brings the events of Darfur to a heartbreaking perspective. Not only adults are suffering but also children. No child should be making finger paintings of their village being burned. As I was looking for art representing Darfur, I came a across a lot of drawings and paintings done by children. Children were drawing pictures of the Janjaweed killing their neighbors, setting not only huts but people on fire. These are some of the most devastating accounts of the Genocide in Darfur. It is one thing to see it through the eyes of an adult, but another to see it through the eyes of a child.
