Child soldiers in somaliland

“Since the late 20th century, rebel groups and the Somali army have forcibly recruited children to the frontline amid civil unrest. Consequently, Somaliland has witnessed one of the highest rates of child warfare deaths in history. This issue persists beyond mere historical significance; it remains ongoing. According to the Security Council, various warring organizations recruited more than 6,163 children between 2010 and 2016. By 2017, Somaliland recorded 2,127 underage recruits, marking the world’s highest number of child soldiers at the time. As recently as 2020, research revealed that nearly 1,500 children, some as young as 8 years old, were still engaged in warfare and deployed to the battlefield.”
