The baobab tree referenced in the title is a symbol of how radical fundamentalism and terror distort and undermine even the most comforting images. Though Ya Ta and Sarah are initially comforted by the sight of the baobab tree, they are in fact horrified to discover that it is being used as the marker for a mass grave.
