Child soldiers released by armed groups in South Sudan

Child soldiers released by armed groups in South Sudan

United Nations, Feb 8 (UNI) Some 300 child soldiers, including 87 girls, were formally released by armed groups in South Sudan, the United Nations mission in the country has reported, calling on all stakeholders to support the young people on the journey back to their communities and help them build a future for themselves.
“Children should not be carrying guns and killing each other. They should be playing, learning, having fun with friends, protected and cherished by the adults around them,” said David Shearer, the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for South Sudan, on Wednesday, welcoming the release.
Undertaken in Yambio (south-western South Sudan), it is the first such release in over a year and marks the first phase of the overall programme which will see more than 700 children return back to their communities.
