A Child's appeal in the name of humanity

My name is Hayat El Kassimi and I am the daughter of Aminatou Haidar and I am 15 years old. In my own name and in the name of my brother Med El Kassimi who is 13 years old, I am appealing to all the other children of the world to support us at this time.
At the same time I am appealing to all the mothers in the world to help our mother who is separated from her two children and who has been on hunger strike for the last 22 days, so that she can come back to live with us in peace and quiet.
It was sad for us to hear the bad news today that our beloved mother has taken the decision not to take her medication, which is dangerous for her.
Help our mother. Help avoid a tragedy which risks having such a negative impact on our physical and mental well being. We want our mother back home!
