Yemeni Child Behind a Revolutionary Portrait


I just watched on BBC.com a report about "Yemeni child behind a revolutionary portrait" that I found not completely true.

The reporter stated the story behind the revolutionary portrait of the little girl, Awsam who spends her day collecting plastic bags to help her family with the money she could make. Awsam's portrait was inspired by the real photo taken for Awsam during the beginning of Yemen's uprising at the change square in Sana'a. The photo, posted above, was taken by the Yemeni photographer, Ameen al-Ghabri.

I wish news TV Channels verify very well the info they spread! Overall, the report was good.
