Recruiting Liberia's child soldiers

The UN children's agency set its sights on Thursday on efforts to take thousands of child soldiers off the streets where they have been used as frontline gunmen by both government and rebel forces in Liberia's devastating wars.

The UN Children's Fund (Unicef) plans to launch a vast clean-up operation in the capital next week and intends to recruit the child fighters who roam its streets for the job, said Unicef regional director Rima Salah.

"The most important thing is to get child soldiers off the streets and get them to a safe haven," she said.

12, 13 year old children who are well trained at prepared a machine gun for fire. Have fired at and killed multiple people. (To most news reports) Have, gang raped girls. Have enter houses and murdered the families while looking for a bite to eat.

I hope this children can work out their lives but it's really going to be difficult. In my opinion Liberia is going to be a dangerous place for a very very long time.
