Human Rights Watch noted that there is no way to precisely estimate the number of children in Burma's army, but it appears that the vast majority of new recruits are forcibly conscripted, and there may be as many as 70,000 soldiers under the age of 18.
It is difficult to pinpoint the country with the most child soldiers as the use of child soldiers is a widespread issue in many conflict-affected regions. However, countries such as Somalia, South Sudan, and Syria have been identified as having a high number of child soldiers involved in armed conflict.
Many countries these days use children as soldiers; not just in Africa but almost in every continent. Somalia, Afghanistan, Burma, Bolivia and UK are just some of the nations that practice this.
