This image depicts the savageness of the Syrian conflict. Seven-year-old Ahmed totes an AK-47 Assault Rifle. The son of a rebel in the Free Syrian Army, Ahmed stands guard in front of a barricade protecting his fellow rebels from government snipers. This child portrays a look of honor as he stares right at the photographer, as if to illustrate his pride in what he is doing. Though the rebels may be fighting for a good cause, there is no excuse to involve children in the conflict, as it exhibits a message that violence is the answer.
