1. The first child soldier mentioned was recruited in which country?2. How many child soldiers does the UN believe are operating world
wide?3. What makes the fighting in Africa different?4. Why won’t adults follow these warlords?5. How long have they been fighting in Somalia?6. How long have they been fighting in Congo?7. What age would YOU make for the cut-off of child vs. adult soldiers?
What is your reasoning?8. (back page) Where was this child soldier fighting before fleeing to the
US?9. Do you think child soldiers should be considered persecutors (who
need to be punished) or victims (who need help and protection)? Why?10. Let’s say someone (you?) figures out how to “fix” this situation and end
the tribal warfare, children as soldiers and genocides and help a country peacefully establish a strong and just central gov’t. How long do you think it would take the country to “get on it’s feet” and overcome these issues?
