Congo - General Indicted in "03 for Using Child Soldiers Is at It Again, Report Says - NYTimes.com A Congolese general already sought on an international arrest warrant on charges of using child soldiers in an earlier conflict has forcibly recruited another 149 boys and teenagers since April, according to a Human Rights Watch investigation published Wednesday. Gen. Bosco Ntaganda, once a feared warlord, had been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes his troops were accused of committing in 2003, including the forced recruitment of children. He joined the army of the Democratic Republic of Congo in 2009 as part of a peace deal that paved the way for him and his men to be integrated into the military. Last month, the agreement disintegrated, and he is believed to be the force behind a new rebel group fighting the Congolese government in the Masisi district in the east. According to Human Rights Watch, 300 to 600 soldiers followed him. Since mid-April, they have forcibly recruited another 149 boys and men ranging from 12 to 20 years old. The youths were abducted from their homes, schools and fields, and beaten if they resisted, complained or walked too slowly, according to the report. Several of the boys said they were forced to walk in front so that they would be the first to be ambushed or shot at.
