Child Soldiers in Somalia

It seems Somalia is among the countries using child soldiers to protect their troops. The Al-Shabab have been abducting children everywhere to use in battle. The boys are used to protect the adult soldiers, and the girls are given as wives to Al-Shabab fighters. Many people are fleeing from the area and tons of children have died. It seems this is just one of the countries using children to protect their troops or to use as pawns. These children need a voice and protection. The government in Somalia needs to govern its people and stop the Al-Shabab from abducting children and using them. This is just one place of many that needs help.
