GOMA, DRC March 21st 2005 64 adolescents under the age of 18 are driven from the FARDC military camp in Moushaki about 15km from Goma to a new Centre de transit et Orientation in Goma. With the new program of 'Brassage' in the military forces, where militias are incorporated into the regular army, large numbers of child soldiers are being de-mobilzed under Unicef's direction. Story Header, De-mobilization of Militias in Eastern Congo MONUC (the United Nations Peace Keeping Mission to the Congo) has given militias in the embattled Eastern Provinces of the DR Congo until April 1st to turn in their weapons and join the de-mobilization and re-integration program run by the UNDP (United Nations Development Program). Although the program had been in effect for months, there had been limited disarmament. Once the deadline had been set, a flood of militiamen, including child soldiers, suddenly entered the program.
