More than 120,000 children, some as young as seven, are serving as soldiers in Africa's numerous wars, according to a report released at a conference in the Mozambican capital Maputo. "We have to tell our governments and rebel groups that enough is enough," Graca Machel, children's rights campaigner told the meeting.
