Islamic State Affiliate Al-Shabab Uses Child Soldiers in Mozambique Attack | Firstpost Africa
A report by advocacy group Human Rights Watch has revealed horrifying tales from Mozambique's insurgency-hit region in the north, Cabo Delgado. The report says Al-Shabab, an Islamic State affiliate, used children as young as 13 for its attack in Cabo Delgado last week. The child soldiers deployed by Al-Shabab were seen carrying AK-style assault rifles and ammunition belts. Residents who were forced to flee the fighting recognised some of the child soldiers as their missing relatives. However, the issue of child soldiers is not unique to Mozambique. Many other African countries including Uganda, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Sudan among others have used young combatants during wars. How are these children recruited? What is the epicentre of child soldier recruitment in Africa? Watch this report for details.
