Symbolism....help?

Im drawing out an art peice about Uganda, and i want it to mirror the mass killings in Idi Amin's reign...symbols of death, dying, genocide, violence, torture...something creative im not talking knives and guns, it is for school after all....im just not good with things like this...





as far as death goes i want to convey death without actually stating it i really just need to fill in the background now...i started out with an African theme, so most of the paper is taken already....let me tell you what i've got...a giraffe, kente cloths along the border, an umbrella thorn tree, and i have the Uganda coat of arms, and an outline of Africa with Uganda as the only place traced out...and the outline is striped and colored like the Ugandan flag...help me out please, and thank you.
