Obama Still Arms Governments Using Child Soldiers
This week, President Barack Obama announced that countries that use child soldiers as Congo, Nigeria, Somalia, and South Sudan will continue to receive United States military assistance.
The decision is disappointing, especially since Obama has a powerful tool at his disposal. In its stead, Obama has invoked national interest waivers that will allow these governments to receive over $161 million in US military aid in the coming year.
In the five years since the Child Soldiers Prevention Act has been in force, the Obama administration has withheld only a fraction of the military aid flowing to governments with child soldiers.This only perpetuates the use and abuse of children in war.
Finally, I don't know why this people use the children for solve their problems or meet their bad goals, I never will get to understand it.These children forgetting that are poor and the difficults that they live it. Besides that, the terrorists don't leave them in peace and they take advantage of their situations and use them as if they were only a weapon.
