Somali famine: Families 'flee child conscription' in Islamic Armies
From the BBC:
Some Somalis have fled to Ethiopia for fear their children may be forcibly conscripted by Islamist insurgents, a UN refugee official has told the BBC.
The UNHCR's Alison Oman said some mothers at refugee camps in Ethiopia told her they left Somalia as they had nothing left to buy-off the militants.
Al-Shabab controls most of south and central Somalia, including two large regions worst affected by the famine.
The group banned many aid agencies from its territory two years ago.
