Bana Alabed hails from Allepo,Syria seven years of age.She is known globally for her
tweets from Aleppo, has written an open letter to Donald Trump.
I lived in Syria my whole life before I left from besieged East Aleppo
on December last year. I am part of the Syrian children who suffered
from the Syrian war.
But right now, I am having a peace in my new home of Turkey. In Aleppo,
I was in school but soon it was destroyed because of the bombing.
Some of my friends died.
I am very sad about them and wish they were with me because we would
play together by right now. I couldn't play in Aleppo, it was the city
of death.
Right now in Turkey, I can go out and enjoy. I can go to school
although I didn't yet. That is why peace is important for everyone
including you.
However, millions of Syrian children are not like me right now and
suffering in different parts of Syria. They are suffering because of
adult people.
I know you will be the president of America, so can you please save the
children and people of Syria? You must do something for the children of
Syria because they are like your children and deserve peace like you.
If you promise me you will do something for the children of Syria, I am already your new friend.
I am looking forward to what you will do for the children of Syria.
Turkey, where Bana and her family now live, supports the Syrian opposition. But President Trump's position is not yet clear.
The US president has repeatedly stressed his desire for a strong
relationship with Russia, and endorsed Vladimir Putin - who supports
Syria's President Assad.
During the campaign, he spoke of ceasing aid to the rebels - but more
recently, he has also spoken of the need for Syrian "safe zones", which
would help rebel forces.
Bana's appeal to the new US president comes as Iran, Russia, and Turkey
have jointly pledged to enforce a three-week ceasefire in Syria amid
peace talks.
But without agreement from Assad's government or rebel forces, it is not clear how long any agreement will hold.......................................BBC
