Children in these warring nations are surely forced, to grow up quickly, aren’t they??? From the Front Page Sections, translated…

Here are the stats…

3.7 million children are born in the wars, fed the grasses and the animal feeds to survive

They’re enticed for $400U.S.D.s to fight in the wars, became killers, learned the ways of the war fares.

This week, the civil war in Syrian reached its fifth year, and the peace talks by the U.N. began on the fourteenth. Based off of the reports by the United Nations, a-third of the children in Syrian were born after the war started, numbering in the 3.7 millions, and the children born in this “era of war” other than fighting in the wars, have NO other options for them to live in, and there were, a lot of children who were drafted, as “children soldiers”, the youngest was only seven.

not my photo still…

The U.N.’s Children Fund’s report of “No Place for Children” pointed out, that there are over eighty percent of the total population in Syria under the age of eighteen, and about 8.4 million are in need of emergent assistance right now, the foundation’s goal of getting $1,160,000,000 to help only met the six percent goals so far this year.

The reports stated, that the Syrian children were forced out of school and home, many became orphans, or were drafted to serve in the army, becoming the children of the “warring generations” in Syria.

shocking and sad, isn’t it???  Not my photo…

The report stated, that there were, about 3.7 million children born after the civil wars started, “Of the children under the age of five who knew about war, 2.9 million are in the Syrian border, and at least 810,000 are in the nearby countries.” The report showed, that there are 360,000 children born in the neighboring refugee camps, and over 200,000 children were trapped in the Syrian border, and many were forced to eat the animal feeds and the grasses they could find to live off of.

This paints a really, grim picture, doesn’t it? As no kid should KNOW what war is, but, we don’t live in ideals, we live in realities, and the reality is that there will always be war, and children born to the families of these countries at war, and, we’d heard about them on the news every single day, but, what, can be done? Is there anything that we can do, to STOP this war? Of course N-O-T, because even IF you’re a leader of some nation, you don’t have the power, to stop people from going after one another’s throats, and, children are sacrificed in all of this…
