Nigeria added to U S child recruitment blacklist
The United States has designated Nigeria as a country of concern under the Child Soldier Prevention Act due to the ongoing recruitment and use of children in conflicts by militant groups such as Boko Haram and ISIS, including as fighters, spies, and carriers. This classification results in restrictions on military aid and defense cooperation, starting from October 1st, although there are presidential exceptions. Nigeria’s record in combating human trafficking is also criticized, as governments have failed to meet international standards, despite some progress in funding and victim services.
