Summary
The Colombia government and Farc rebels agreed with the document to release child soldiers. The Farc rebel is the left-wing in Colombia, which often makes some wars with the government. At those wars, many children and adolescents were treated as victims. In the documents, the government and the Farc reached an agreement that fighters under 15 years old return to their families. This agreement will be extend to all soldiers under 18 years old.
However, both sides have not cleared how many children and adolescents in total still remain in the Farc.
The government and the Farc are negotiating about the permanent ceasefire, and the Farc are transforming from a military group into political party.
My opinion
First of all, I was surprised the fact that there are the child soldier system in Latin America. I thought that only African countries used the system. Recently, Latin America becomes the focus of world attention as an area of Olympic. But we should pay attention to the negative sides, for example, disputes, public disorder and so on.
Next, it was unexpected fact that the numbers of child soldiers are decreasing. I tend to think that the state of affairs are getting worse and worse, and the wars are expanded. But I was relieved to know the fact that some countries have settled problems in an amicable way. I hope that this trend spread all over the world.
