Summary: This study says that in addition to
the large number of children still
serving in armed groups in the
region, there are many more former
child soldiers in countries no longer
facing conflict. Based on interviews
with 69 current and former child
combatants, this study provides
often moving first-hand accounts of
their experiences.
