Congo fails to stop use of child soldiers
Congo has failed to stop the use of child soldiers in its army – adding forces from former warlords into the regular corps without weeding out underage fighters, an international human rights group said today.
The Central African country has been working to combine forces from a number of rebel groups into the regular army as the newly-elected government struggles to gain control of the sprawling state the size of Western Europe after years of fighting and neglect.
