Nepal signs agreement to free child soldiers
Nepal’s government and former communist rebels have signed an agreement to free nearly 3,000 child soldiers who have been confined in United Nations-monitored camps since a Maoist insurgency ended in 2006.
Under the pact signed yesterday, the children will start to be released from December 27 and the process will be completed in 40 days. It was signed by government representatives, UN officials and the former rebels of the Communist Party of Nepal.
