UNICEF: Liberia's Child Soldiers
Liberia's former child soldiers are once again being forced into combat, even though the country's civil war has officially ended. UNICEF has received reports from its partners that at least 25 children have been re-recruited to fight in neighbouring Côte d'Ivoire. Of those targeted for recruitment, demobilized children are particularly at risk. UNICEF and its partners have tried to prevent recruitment as much as possible, but the border between the two countries is hard to police. UNICEF is working to make sure that a more systematic follow-up of demobilized children takes place, and is advocating for child protection monitors be stationed in border towns.
