REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, Sarajevo - His name is Adnan Mevic. He's getting something out usually in early life. Two days after birth, the UN Secretary-General (then) Kofi Annan, flew from New York specifically to see him in his arms and hugged Adnan. The year was 1999, 12 years ago. He was crowned as the world's population to 6 billion.
His parents later named Adnan, a name that is close to Annan. This is the name of the nearest Muslim they could find, with the UN secretary general's last name.
Now, Adnan has been sitting in seventh grade. He lived in a rundown one-bedroom apartment in the town of Visoko, Bosnia with his parents.
Today was a difficult time for families Mevic. Jasmin, Adnan's father, was seriously ill - doctors diagnose colon cancer - and can not work. His mother lost her job as a worker in a textile factory three years ago.
While Adnan, he was diagnosed as having problems in her heart, with a small leak. These families survive on U.S. $ 350 cash per month and can not afford the health care they need.
"We never heard anything from the UN again. We have never received anything from them, even birthday cards," said Adnan's mother, Fatima Mevic, on ABC News.
Now, the UN has chosen the date of October 31, 2011, as a symbolic date to mark the world population to 7 billion. In fact, we may have to live with the baby to-7 billion, or maybe he will be born next year. Experts do not agree because it is difficult to say, when about half a million babies are born every day.
This time the UN has decided not to choose a baby. When asked by ABC News, a spokesman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon does not really explain why.
"We do not really know the exact state and when it's born," he said. "All countries free to choose baby's symbolic to-7 billion on October 31." Read More
