Pakistani schoolchildren who donated money for US presidential candidate Barack Obama's campaign are demanding an end to bombings in the Tribal Areas, calling for the Democrat to "provide us education instead of bombing our land".
"Uncle Obama, we expect peace from you," read a placard held by the group of nine children who donated $261. The children -- six boys and three girls aged between eight and 13 -- told journalists at the Peshawar Press Club that their small donation for Obama's election campaign was meant to highlight the unrest in NWFP and FATA. |
