CONCLUSION.
With this reflection, we have seen that children are recruited
and used by both armed group, including FARDC in North Kivu Province .There are
many and various consequences of recruitment and use of children. Children are
being killed, they are also be maiming. Usually girls are used as sexual
slaves.
Different reports of United Nations about the situation of
children in armed conflict in North Kivu Province of DRC reveal great
violations of children rights committed by armed group. In the last report
number S/2020/1030 du 19 October 2020, the total number of violations includes
4,639 children who had been recruited before 2018 but were used by armed group
until their separation during the reporting period.
Surely, as long as, this phenomena of armed group will
continue to remain in our Province, then recruitment of children will be also
the evidence. That why the great solution which could be considered by
Congolese Government is to pacify the East area of DRC.
According to this truth, this peace is obtained not only by
fight or by the way of war, but also by dialog between all the parties. There
is no importance of dialogue if parties will not be able to respect resolutions
taken by themselves.
Unfortunately, it's curious to find that both Government
doesn't develop and support correctly program of demobilization and formation
of ex-rebellious in the Transit's Center of Beni. The ex-rebellions are
sometimes renounced without any assistance.
Even, armed groups operated in Noth Kivu don't develop and
respect the action plan to make end to recruitment and use of children by
them.
Reiterating the primary role of national Governments in
providing effective protection and relief to all children affected by armed
conflicts. The resolution 1612 states the primary responsibility of the
Security Council of United Nations for the maintenance of international peace
and security and, in this connection, its commitment to address the impact of
armed conflict on children.
Finally, it more important for Congolese Government to develop
specific program of reintegration children in civilian life. DRC Government
could end impunity and by prosecuting
9
all responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity, war
crimes and other egregious crimes perpetrated against children.
For accomplishing that mission, the partner of DRC Government,
for instance the section of child protection of Monusco , each in their domain
of competences ,have to get involved so as to help the children affected by
armed conflicts to join their families and receive professional trainings ,or
resume school activities so as to generate incomes for family progress.

Annexe 1: Presentation
Ladies and gentlemen good morning / good afternoon !
Julien SHEMITIMA is a first level student speaking to you now.
We are all seeking peace in this country, but I wonder if
everyone here knows what is happening in BENI, MASISI, RUTHSURU ,and so on.
What I know is that here is insecurity which is caused by armed groups. Armed
groups have followers made of kids and adults.
This is too sensitive for a child growing without a basic
education. That is why it is a great opportunity for me to share with you a
topic on
»IMPACT OF CHILDREN RECRUITMENT IN ARMED GROUPS, CASE OF
NORTH-KIVU
PROVINCE»
In fact, recruitment and use of children include acts of
voluntary or
forced enrollment in any armed group.
The use of children is the use of minors in any capacity as
fighters, cooks, porters, messengers, sexual slaves, human, shield or spies.
This impact negatively our society because those children grow
up without both basic education and school knowledge.
But also some families run away from targeted villages to safe
ones_since parents are fearing for their kids to be kidnapped. This situation
does not allow the progress of develpment in conflict zones.
Dear all, as we don'tt expect to be perfect, any comment or
question is the most welcome.
Thank you.
