Bangsamoro Islamic Liberation Front Recruits Child Soldiers

Regardless of motivation, the use of children by terrorist groups is now a global phenomenon, but Bangsamoro Islamic Liberation Front, also known as BIFF, said that minors were 10 years old children below and above 10 year old child wasn’t considered as child abuse.

Children can easily be convinced and persuaded by these terrorists who’d use extreme force and violence to get what they really wanted for these children. 

Child soldiers are common in poor countries or in countries like Syria and Africa with rampant terrorists. The bad thing about it is that some of whom later turned up as suicide bombers and recruiters for others to join their forces.

In a blog post of Mr. Alon Calinao Dy, he said,  “using children as soldiers must stop now since most of them are coerced to join the group and parents are afraid that these terrorists might kill them if they resist.”

Most people know, even President Duterte, that these terrorists involve in kidnapping, narcotics, human trafficking, and other criminal activities to finance their terrorist organizations.

Members of BIFF are considered as terrorists according to many reports and sources who pledge of allegiance to ISIS.In addition, many terrorist organizations create youth camps for their propaganda and To lure children to join their cause. 

Why these terrorist groups are always using child soldiers for their cause? What should the government need to do in order to avoid this kind of recruitment?
