There are over 25,000 children parent orphans throughout the country.
This war has made professional and personal life of Gervasio Sánchez, “is a rare day that my memory does not stop in that conflict. I learned that the war can not be counted. The horror is unimaginable for anyone who has not experienced it. ” Optimists say the city has not lost its cosmopolitan spirit while pessimists believe that has dissolved in distress after the war.But most Europeans exclaim: “We betrayed during the war and we have left after the peace agreements.”
