Kabul (BNA) Armed opposition groups violating all international commissions’ criteria, laws and humane righties have increased recruitment among youths and teenagers
BNA political analyst commenting on the issue writes sources in Independent Humane Rights Commission of Afghanistan have said that armed opposition groups extensively recruiting children and teenagers for military services.
Terrorist groups besides using the teenagers as soldiers in battle fields, prompt them to carry terrorist and suicide attacks that cause heavy casualties among children and teenagers.
According to Afghan Human Rights Commission’s officials the number of casualties among children and teenagers has doubled than previous year. The officials presenting figures have said that more than 8000 infants and children have lost their lives in disputes and terrorist incidents across the world in 2016 of which 1340 belong to Afghanistan.
Taliban, so called IS and their affiliated groups carrying horrendous attacks have violated all humane and international commissions’ criteria and laws.
What have Afghan Human Rights Commission said are small part of crime, Taliban have committed.
Armed terrorist groups who know nothing about human values, by recruiting among children and teenagers not only bar them from education but strike a heavy blow on their psychological and social safety. In this way, they generate a generation of the country as prejudice and alien people to humane, Islamic and social values.
In addition, Taliban and IS affiliated group use children in smuggling narcotic drugs, delivering weapons, money laundry, sexual abuse and carrying other organized crimes.
If, today, hundreds of thousands of children, teenagers and youths are deprived from attending school and the doors of schools closed to students due security problems or direct threats of Taliban and IS, are part of crimes committed against the children of this country by terrorist groups .
Taliban with narrow sight and dark and backward conception and medieval age idea are behind many miseries in the country. Although the aims of these heinous groups are known by everybody, unfortunately, there are certain circles inside and outside the country deliberately support these savage and ignorant groups just for achieving their illegal and ambitious objectives in the region.
