不知道各位還記不記得,先前曾有一位小男童,他穿上用塑膠袋自製的球衣,把球星梅西當作最愛的偶像?
2016年時,來自阿富汗的Murtaza Ahmadi,用藍白塑膠袋自製一件球衣,並用油彩筆寫上球星梅西的號碼「10號」。當年他才5歲,踢球的照片被媒體大肆報導後,他終於見到梅西本人,也獲贈一件真正的梅西球衣!
當時,Murtaza開心極了!也獲得一筆善款。

然而,最近Murtaza一家人受到塔利班武裝份子的威脅,Murtaza的媽媽Shafiqa對外媒表示,「有天,當地的黑道份子來傳話,他們說我們現在變有錢了,叫我們交出梅西之前給我們的錢,不然就要把我兒子抓走。」

後來,Murtaza一家人甚至在家附近聽到一聲槍響,他們嚇得連夜搬離家園,沒能帶走任何衣物,連梅西送的球衣也沒能帶走。
據調查,Murtaza一家人原先住的「阿茲尼省(Ghazni)」,一直是武裝分子的攻擊目標,而他們屬於什葉派穆斯林為主的哈扎拉族人,這個族裔也是遜尼派塔利班攻擊的對象。

現在,他們在當地相關單位的協助下,已經逃到首都喀布爾,住在一間簡陋的合租公寓裡,躲避塔利班恐怖份子的追迫。
但願Murtaza能平平安安的長大!
