非洲激進(jìn)組織博科圣地越來越多地用孩童當(dāng)自殺式炸彈襲擊者。

The United Nations says 44 children were involved in Boko Haram suicide attacks last year. Only four children were used in such attacks in 2014.

聯(lián)合國表示，去年博科圣地自殺式襲擊涉及44名兒童，而2014年此類襲擊事件只有2名兒童襲擊者。

The information comes from the UN Children's Emergency Fund, known as UNICEF.

聯(lián)合國兒童基金會一名工作人員表示，博科圣地20%的自殺式炸彈襲擊者為兒童。其中最大的8歲。

The militant group has sent children to carry out attacks in crowded markets and religious centers. The children sometimes do not know they are carrying explosives. The boys and girls are rarely considered as a threat by police or security forces.

該組織派遣兒童攜帶炸彈到人多密集的市區(qū)和宗教中心實施襲擊。有時，那些孩子并不知道自己攜帶了炸彈。警方或安保方面幾乎不會把那些男孩和女孩看做威脅力量。

Over the past two years, UNICEF said, Cameroon alone has recorded 21 suicide attacks involving children. Nigeria has 17 such attacks, while Chad has two.

從博科圣地逃出來的女子和女孩表示該組織將她們視為性奴隸，并強(qiáng)迫他們協(xié)助該組織的行動。

博科圣地7年以來制造的暴力事件已致2萬人死亡，其他約2百萬人流離失所。

The group set out to establish its version of Islamic law in northern Nigeria. That has included launching war on Western education. Human Rights Watch reported Tuesday that Boko Haram has killed 611 teachers since 2009.Attacks have destroyed or led to the closure of over 2,000 schools.
