United Nations, 4 February 2009 - The Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUC) yesterday separated 28 children from the armed groups with which they were associated. Surrendering the children in their ranks, a process facilitated by the Mission, is among the requirements for these groups to be integrated into the national army. The Mission notes that 16 of the 28 children were associated with the CNDP rebel group. Others were in the ranks of various ethnic Mayi Mayi and PARECO groups.
