Abdinour deeply discussed the importance of 16 June to African children. It is very important for African child and it serves as a day that the basic rights of children are performed and discussed.
The main problems that African children experience:
- child soldiering: this is an unlawful act according to international law.
- Forced Recruitment- under age children were forced by terrorist organizations.
- Human trafficking is another significant problem that harmed the bright future of African children.
- homeless children. The number of homeless children is increasing daily. Parent divorce caused more children to become homeless.
Finally Abdinour urges all stakeholders concerned to join us in consolidating efforts to ensure the welfare of vulnerable children and create a protective environment for Somali children.
