Africas Infamous, Child Soldiers-
Today, as many as 300,000 children under the age of 18 serve in government forces or armed rebel groups in Africa. Some are as young as eight years old.
Children are uniquely vulnerable to military recruitment because of their emotional and physical immaturity. They are easily manipulated and can be drawn into violence that they are too young to resist or understand.
Truly Sad.
