MAPUTO, (CAJ News) – AN armed group linked to the Islamic State (ISIS) allegedly used children as soldiers to raid and loot the town of Macomia in northern Mozambique recently.
Boys as young as 13 were reportedly used, in what is a new twist to the conflict in the Cabo Delgado province.
It is unclear if the children also engaged in fighting against government armed forces.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) reminded the recruitment and use of children under age of 15 as child soldiers is a war crime.
