A dangerous year for children

This letter is in reference to the article “2014 a devastating year for children: UN” published in The Daily Star on 10.12.2014. We strongly condemn this brutality and atrocities against the children of war ravaged Central African Republic, Iraq, South Sudan, the Palestinian territories, Syria and Ukraine and no adequate words we have to express our grief. All grief is intolerable, unbearable.
We would like to go far to voice our protest against this violence. Negotiation, as a principal tool used in conflict management has failed. Success looks uncertain; it seems there are none to roll up their sleeves. Children are suffering with no recourse left. They are affected by the war in Syria and Palestine, and are being recruited by the armed groups in the Central African Republic. They are dying from malnutrition, displaced as refugee.
We have no other options but to appeal to the international community, especially the United Nations to come forward to stop violence, and bring the warring parties to the negotiating table.  Time is just running out.
