Recruiting Terror: Terrorists are recruiting children
Kinshasa - A dissident general is recruiting large numbers of children to fight in the conflicted North-Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Amnesty International said on Friday.
Veronique Aubert, a researcher for the human rights organisation said: “For several weeks, anti-government forces loyal to dissident general Laurent Nkunda have been recruiting children, often by force, in the Masisi and Rutshuru territories of North-Kivu.
“Many others, fearing abduction by Nkunda’s troops, have been forced to flee their homes and families to seek protection in major towns and cities.”
She said many of the children being recruited had been already formally passed through a release and family re-unification programme.
