Child Soldiers in Africa


The child soldier in Africa problem has become a global issue due to its abusive use of child soldiers. Many problems are occurring, and they are causing surrounding countries and continents involved. Here are some statistics on this child soldier issue. First of all, there are over 500, 000 child soldiers in the world, and 250, 000 of those child soldiers exist in Africa. Secondly, more than three percent of child soldiers in Africa are dying everyday. This issue is slowly going to take away all of Africa's children, leaving a questionable future for Africa's society. In just one country in Africa, Burma, there are as many as 70, 000 child soldiers! Lastly, there are more child soldiers in Africa being injured than any other continent. Based on these statistics, Africa will slowly fall apart, unless this child soldier issue is stopped.
