One of South Sudan’s armed groups, the Cobra Faction, released up to 250 child soldiers on March 22, 2015, Sunday.
This is the third release of child soldiers made by this group. It is part of a larger demobilization effort to free 3,000 child soldiers held by the Cobra Faction.
In late January and early February 660 children were set free in the Jonglei villages of Pibor and Gumrok.

The demobilization aimed at freeing 3,000 child soldiers held by the Cobra Faction is still continuing.
Boko Haram in Nigeria also uses children. Captured teenagers are often forced to be on the frontline in the fight against Nigerian troops through ambushes and suicide bombing.
Boko Haram fighters also abducted schoolgirls from Chibok in Borno state on April 14, 2014.
