The children those who had lived under the sound of bombs, have to come face to face with soldiers and police. State forces members those who cause thousands of children to be displaced, lose their relatives, have handed out cake to the children by "chatting" with them.

A. said, "They should give us our neighborhood not cake. They want to make us forget what happened. We don't want cake, we want our neighborhood. If they are really so good and they love us, they should rent a house not build police stations here and they should come to here on foot not with scorpion type armored vehicles.
