Yes, and the actual term is kidnapped children, not ‘child soldiers’… it’s kidnapped children forced by gunpoint from their families and forced to serve evil or else die if they try to run away. Hanging, and skinning the children who try to flee, burning them and hanging their remains to terrify human beings, is the favored act.
It’s everywhere, Taliban, Somalia, Kenya, anywhere there are children –and people crazed by lust for war– and unarmed families.
