From Gaza to Ukraine, from Sudan to Myanmar, youngsters are being raped, abducted, maimed, killed and even recruited as soldiers.

Callous disregard for civilian lives and safety is a disturbing feature of modern armed conflict. From Ukraine and Gaza to Sudan and Myanmar, respect for the “laws of war” is being eroded or is non-existent. Non-combatants are deliberately targeted. Most shocking, and unforgivable, is the wanton harm – the UN term is “grave violations” – done to children.
In his latest report on children and conflict, UN secretary general António Guterres warned that children “continued to be disproportionately affected” by war-related violence and abuses. By this, he meant killing and maiming, rape, sexual violence, abductions, school attacks and recruitment of child soldiers. All were on the rise, he said. (...)
How shaming all this is. How truly shocking. That adults and nations choose to fight each other is normal, though regrettable. But a world war on children? How did it come to this?

The Sky Gate bulk carrier is shipping 25,000 metric tons of wheat to #Nigeria.
The vessel is moving through the temporary #BlackSea corridor. The #shipping route was opened in August 2023, weeks after Russia's unilateral termination of the Black Sea grain deal threatened Ukraine's ability to ship out its grain.

The emboldened ISIS is gaining power and popularity in most places in west #Asia and north and central Africa.
It's really sad and upsetting to see that once again (just like Obama's time) these extremists are surging while the US is bombing and killing the people who defeated them last time in #Yemen, #Iraq and #Syria to safeguard the ongoing genocide in #Gaza and their illegal and immoral occupation in Syria and Iraq.
Explosive kills school children in north-east #Nigeria
At least six people, some of them school children, have been killed in north-east Nigeria by an explosive device which they had mistaken for scrap metal.
Police and local officials in Borno state said the blast occurred in a building at an Islamic school on Saturday.
Reports say pupils often collect and sell the metal to local communities.
Despite a ban on the practice, scavenging for scrap is still common in the area, which is plagued by Islamist violence.
Climate benefits of the plastic ban may be offset by the impact on vendors, waste collectors and the informal economy.#Features #Gallery #Environment #InPictures #Africa #Nigeria
