A new report by The Associated Press shows that child soldiers fighting for the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces against Sudan's army have been trained by Colombian mercenaries.
The report is based on rare, firsthand accounts from former child soldiers held at a rehabilitation center run by the military-backed government in the capital, Khartoum. Tens of thousands of children as young as 8 have been conscripted into the ongoing conflict by all sides and many are still on the front lines.
