Crisis in Darfur: Crayon Depictions By Children

Drawings
It's often said that nothing is truer than the words of a child. Now, 500 drawings by children are being used as evidence of Sudan's government troop attacks on the people of Darfur. The images, drawn by children who escaped the violence by fleeing across the border to eastern Chad, will be submitted to the International Criminal Court as evidence against a Sudanese government minister and militia commander accused of committing war crimes in Darfur. Waging Peace, an organization that campaigns against genocide, will submit the images to the court.
