CHILDREN AT WAR

CHILD SOLDIERS

By Javier Ballesteros

In a world where millions of children “play war games” with toy guns or video games, other boys and girls are pushed into real war, becoming young fighters. 

For them WAR is not a game, but real life. They learn to solve conflicts with weapons, kill others and very often become addicted to certain drugs, which are provided by their captors. 


Afghanistan, Colombia, India, Iraq, Israel, Libya, Mali, Pakistan, Thailand, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen are using child soldiers. They sometimes take part in suicide missions.


Soldier kids haven’t got any rights,  just victims, whose  future has been truncated. 

Some of them have been kidnapped, others recruited by force, bribed or deceived, other times their desire to take revenge because their family have been killed or suffered violence. 

We should try to change this situation, but for many of them coming back to normal life will be very difficult, if not impossible!

I strongly believe this is one of the most important problems in the world. 
How could we help to solve it? If you are interested, you can find more information in this link

  1. It is very hard to see how today can be some places where children are used in that way . Unfortunately this is a reality and everyday it will be worse, until the day when they realize that using this young children as a weapon in war is totally immoral and also, I strongly believe that none of them deserve that , although if they dont now something else in their lives. Its a real shame.
