Green Parrots From Gino Strada:


An old Afghan sandals broken and muddy, and turban with the tail coming down to the waist, stood next to six year old son in the hospital emergency room in Quetta. The child was named Khalil and his face and hands, or what was left, covered with heavy bandages. He lay motionless, his shirt blackened by the explosion. Someone had pulled up his sleeve and had a noose tied tight on his right arm to stop the bleeding. "He was wounded by a mine toy, as the Russians pull on our villages," said Mubarak, the nurse who was also an interpreter, approaching with a bucket of water and a sponge. I do not believe, it's just propaganda, I thought, noting that Mubarak cut clothes and began to wash the child's chest, rubbing vigorously as if he curries a horse. It has not been moved, the child, not a whimper. In the operating room I removed the bandages: the right hand was gone, replaced by a horrible mess like a charred cauliflower, three fingers of the left completely spappolate.Avrà picked up a grenade, I said. Would have been only three days in hospital before receiving a similar case, a child. On leaving the operating room Mubarak shows me a piece of dark green plastic, burnt by the explosion. "Look, this toy is a piece of mine, have collected on the site of the explosion. Our old people call them green parrots ... "and begins to draw the shape of the mine, ten inches in all, two wings with a small cylinder at the center. It looks like a butterfly than a parrot, now I can put like a puzzle piece of plastic in my hand, is the wing tip. "... They are down to thousands, launched from helicopters at low altitude. Ask to Abdullah, the driver of the hospital, one of the children of his brother has a collection last year, lost two fingers and was blind. "The mine does not explode right away, often not active if we tread . It takes a little 'time, it works, as the manuals say, to build excessive pressure. We must take it, handle it again, pull the wings. Who picks it up, in short, can take it home, show it to friends in the courtyard of curiosity, that if passed from hand to hand, we play. Then explode. And someone else will go the way of Khalil.Mine toy, designed to maim children. I had to believe, but still I have difficulty understanding ...
