"The girls have been missing before, but never this long and we need to make sure that they are safe and well.
"They are not in any trouble and I would ask them to give me a call or come to a local station so we can ensure they are okay.
"If anyone has seen Amena or Sya recently then please call us with information."
Anyone with information is urged to call West Midlands Police on 101. Alternatively people can leave information anonymously by calling the Missing Persons charity on 116 000.
