From the article:

More than 300,000 children have been affected by the violence in the country and its consequences, including through recruitment, family separation, sexual violence, forced displacement and having no or limited access to education and health facilities, it said.

"We are very concerned about children that might have possibly been displaced and separated from parents, but also we are concerned about children that are living on the streets and those that have been associated with those armed groups," Strother added.

Dar Williams has written an impassioned song about this horror of war, refugee camps, and children: I Am the One Who Will Remember Everything.

So where are we now, he must be five or six,
Just running around, hungry kids, sharpened sticks.
And he will grow with pain and fear and jealousy,
Taken in by schools of zealotry,
Who train orphans to make orphans evermore.
I am the one who will remember everything.

What will be the impact of U.N. concern? Do the partisan factions act, or even listen, when asked to stop recruiting children? What will be remembered of our age and our conflicts? Everything.
