Somalia's children under attack

Amnesty International, 2011

Despite the nature and scale of the human rights abuses committed in Somalia, including war crimes, near total impunity continues to reign. Addressing accountability for war crimes and other human rights abuses is essential to improve the protection of children and their human rights in Somalia.

As one child told Amensty International:
"There is so much recruitment of children by Al-Shabab. They do this because the think that no one will investigate them."
