We owe our children – the most vulnerable citizens in any society – a life free from violence and fear.

I loved it in the unconditional way that children love their first home.

We shall immunize every child in Africa to get rid of this terrible disease forever.

It has, in particular, waged a war against a civilian population, in particular children.
