Dybala posts anti war message on social media

Juventus star Paulo Dybala has taken to Instagram to appeal for an end to war following the American bombings of Syria.

On Friday, the United States launched airstrikes on an air base in western Syria which they allege was used by Syria’s government to launch a deadly chemical attack which killed more than 85 people.

The US airstrike - which killed seven people, including four children – caused outrage in many parts of the world as president Donald Trump had ordered the bombings without international or congressional approval and without the perpetrators of the chemical attack having been independently verified.

The recent events are just the latest in a long line of death and destruction in the Middle East, with relations between world superpowers United States and Russia now hitting rock bottom over the Syrian affair.

Given the precarious situation, Juventus attacker Dybala has taken to social media to plead for an end to war in the world.

“STOP WAR! Every child is my child,” he posted on his official Instagram account, accompanied by a picture of him wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the hashtag #EveryChildIsMyChild.

Dybala posted his anti-war message following Juventus’ 2-0 win over Chievo Verona on Saturday night in Turin, with the Argentine assisting compatriot Gonzalo Higuain for the first of his two goals.
