nearly a third of children interviewed said they were forced to enlist.
The return of the youth, the report says, provides both "opportunities and

ideologies and recruitment strategies of armed groups," the report says.
"On the other, the response of the security forces is widely perceived to be
promoting further radicalisation as the returnees themselves believe that they
are unsafe and have limited reintegration options."
Security in the country was identified by participants as the main obstacle to
their successful reintegration in the country.
A total of 185 respondents were interviewed, representing nearly 30% of
the estimated total of 684 returnees in the country. The majority were
between 18 and 34 years old... |
