Yemen's Houthi rebels have agreed to rid their ranks of child soldiers, who have fought by the thousands during the country's seven years of civil war, the United Nations said Monday.
A 12-year-old former child soldier with Yemen's Houthi rebels demonstrates how to use a weapon at a camp for displaced persons where he took shelter with his family in Marib, Yemen in 2018. The Houthi rebels have agreed to rid their ranks of child soldiers, who have fought by the thousands during the country's seven years of civil war, the United Nations said Monday.
The Houthis signed what the U.N. described as an"action plan" to end and prevent recruiting or using children in armed conflict, killing or maiming children and attacking schools and hospitals. U.N. spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said the rebels committed to identifying children in their ranks and releasing them within six months.
Yemen's internationally recognized government, which is operating in exile, made similar commitments in several documents signed since 2014, the U.N. said.
