UN: DRC rebels are recruiting more child soldiers

The United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) is concerned that rival armed groups in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are recruiting child soldiers again. Julien Harneis, a representative of Unicef, said more child soldiers have been recruited in the two eastern Kivu provinces in the last two months after a post-ceasefire lull.
