In my opinion, Give Peace a Chance by ~red-vervet carries a strong message. It depicts the destruction of captured weapons by the UN Military contingent in progress in Kamina/ Katanga/ Congo - according to the author.

Give Peace a Chance

Description

Our time here is done.

We recieved instructions to destroy all the weapons that we had recovered from the militia/ rebels - so we did just that.

In a little over a years time that we have been here - we have removed AK-47s from the hands of children not old enough to qualify for school in most 'civilized' countries, repaired broken walls, built bridges - both literally and otherwise, provided a roof to children who no longer have parents to do so, disarmed scores of rebels, destroyed hundreds of illegal arms and ammunition, replaced machetes with the carpenters saw and hammer, doused fires, councelled fights... I guess we have done our bit to give Peace a fighting chance.
