In Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, Congolese children were forced to join the military. Children were on their way back from school, and they met the rebels. The rebels made children to carry the luggages and told them to go with them. The rebels well-planned attempt to find new recruits. Six children and three teachers were kidnapped. Six children were Jean Vierre's (not his real name) classmates. Two boys were also kidnapped but after two days, they were able to escape. Last few months, there was a fight between Congolese army and the rebels. Therefore, the rebels were kidnapping those young children.
This is very important, because it is like a 'slave.' Children are forced to join the military. It is like those children who were forced to work. Some slaves tried to escape or succed at escaping. Same thing happened in this article. Some students tried to escape or succed at escaping. By reading this article, we could tell that these things (similar to slave) are still happening in Central Africa.

Hey,All of you talking about the bible as if it is good, as if it is good. Please read it. The most horrific crimes are in it. Your preacher has been deliberately deceiving you. Your parents before you bought into it and are equally victims of this deception. The bible goes over and over in different passages and reads like a horror movie. Go and actually read it and you will find out. Just start with Exodus 21 and read on. Your preacher may have tried spinning it to sound good, but owning another human being has always been wrong! Jesus even says to do it and you can beat them. It's all in the "good book". Just saying.Thank you so much!!!
