Use of child soldiers in Yemen

A bombshell report by the New York Times has revealed that Riyadh has been recruiting child soldiers, sending them to the front line, to fight on its behalf.

These children have been recruited from Sudan's war ravaged Darfur, a region that has its own issues with poverty. The Saudis have been luring from the most desperate and vulnerable, paying them handsomely too. Recruits got a monthly wage of around 650 dollars.
