Mopti, January 24, 2013.- The events of recent days in Mali make it Necessary humanitarian aid . Hamidou, 9 years: . We live terrorized by the gunfire and the sight of corpses . Today I caught my brother crying Usually my brother cries When I Thinks he’s alone in His room.
Mamadou is 6 years old and does not like anyone to see you mourn for him not to call coward. But today you can not help it. It takes time crying over what I’ve seen. A few days ago We went shopping with my father.
On the way home we passed the military barracks and our father shouted to us! ‘. I do not look if I did not but Mamadou Immediately and watched what was happening in the barracks.
Since Then I have not stopped to mourn. He Said I saw people lying on sleep next to the wall and there was blood everywhere. My father Told us I HAD Been shot. My brother would not stop shaking and That makes me very sad. I ‘m Worried About him. I tried to Encourage him but not working.
When I’m home, I hear gunshots every day. Every time I hear a shot I run to see if little brother is fine. I try to distract him With jokes and games. It is not easy to live like that.
I want to go and have my neighbors. All my school friends Have Gone With Their families. The teachers Have Also gone. The school was empty last week as the manager closed.
I envy Those Who Are Gone. At Least They Do not Have to endure this.
