When the non violence back fire tactics failed the result is the creation of child soldiers.

When their parents and their brothers and sisters were killed, they cry for help but no one came to thei\r rescue, they fall sick later and there was no hospital and money to rescue them from death. Then by the grace of God the almighty they survive, but there was no way for them to live because of fear of being killed, because there was no employment for them and also because they were psychologically not sounding since all their relatives were killed, their house burnt and their hopes lost
Then then decided to run to the bush for their safety. On their way to the bush, they met with all types of challenges, as brothers and sisters they were face with all types of snakes attacks, malaria from mosquitoes’ bites, they got wounds which there was no hospital or medical doctors to treat their wounds. they suffered in the bush but there was no way!!! When the government failed to organize a genuine dialogue or negotiation, then a full blown hunger and suffering pushed them to do what they were not expecting in their life time to do
Since their hopes were all lost what next did they have to do? They were forced to take up arm against the government as young as they were!!!
Then the rule of law failed and arm conflicts began between the government and the young citizens whose minds tilted toward revenge of the past.
Child soldier is born!!! God be their helper
The way forward was to look for a mediator who was supposed to be an expert in managing conflict and not a politician but the government failed to do that.
Then the only option left was negotiation which of cause needed a third party who was supposed to listen to every party speak because the rule of law in that country have failed whole fully as the citizen took the command from both parties. Hence both parties ruled the country with different soldiers and government.
The authorities in power need to act very quickly in that country because the civil war is about to begin
