Children of the Revolution
In the uprisings across the Arab world, protesters are finding that revolution is sometimes child's play.
By: BY SUZANNE MERKELSON, AYLIN ZAFARThis particular article is set up differently then any other article. Mainly because the article is a series of pictures with short paragraphs describing each one. But, these pictures are showing the children of the revolution. Children are a huge part of the revolution and some forget that they are involved. They are using their bodies to stand on the line and fight for what their parents and what they believe in.
When I first came across the site, I realized that pictures really do speak louder then words. When your just reading something you can't really picture the full events or picture children actually having to go through some of these things. But, when the evidence is being shown and you see what's truly going on your heart begins to break a little bit for those innocent children who are just following their loved ones.
A few of the photos shown are of children in a mob of people holding signs and embracing their countries colors, there are children in uniform holding or being near weapons, there are children that were hurt and you can see their wounds. There are also photos of children and their families, one particular one is a Egyptian solider holding his daughter and kissing her cheek, because he was celebrating the fact that the Egyptian president stepped down. But, my question is why would you want your child amidst all of that violence?
The children are the world's future, let's just hope they aren't effected too much by the violence being shown today.
