The book

The Children’s Drawings by child survivors of genocide and mass atrocities in Sudan

Waging Peace brings you this book of drawings by child survivors of genocide and mass atrocities in Sudan.

This 84-page, full-colour, and stunningly designed hardback book, in English and Arabic throughout, tells their story.

It contains a foreword by former International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor, H.E. Dr Fatou Bensouda. The first edition of this book was launched in April 2024 at a series of events kickstarted at the Frontline Club, and also in Parliament, and to academic audiences. In July 2025 the revised second edition was launched with an author’s update and five new children’s drawings obtained in February 2025.

Please hear the children’s voices, and bear witness.

It is great to see such high-quality reproductions of the drawings, and to have the contextual information about each of them alongside really help the reader to understand their significance.

Last night I found your book in my mailbox on my way home. A thousand thanks, a thousand thanks to all of you for offering me your book, the book of the Sudanese children, I’m very, very moved to have it in my hands… I want to take the time to read everything, to carefully take a look again at these drawings that are so essential; the children’s gazes on the photos are such a constant and powerful reminder of our responsibilities…I promise to continue step by step, in my small way, to shed light on your work and your fight to protect life and justice, again and again. Bravo bravo bravo to you all, and to the children sketchers, all great witnesses.

I am happy that the world is still listening to our voice

I have received the book and all of my family members were amazed with what have done. It’s absolutely beyond any words I can say or put. All I can say outstanding job Waging Peace and we will remember this for ever.
