Newspaper Article
Cook orders child army ban
2000
Overview
Evening Standard reporter ALEX RENTON, who broke the story of British guns being used to arm child soldiers, returns to Sierra Leone with Foreign Secretary Robin Cook ROBIN COOK met Sierra Leone's president this morning and told him that Britain's \"long-term commitment\" to his country was dependent on children, some of them armed by Britain, being removed from the conflict. Mr Cook, in an hour-long meeting with the president, told him that although Britain's new deployment of 200 soldiers to train the Sierra Leone army, in addition to the 90 officers already advising on strategy and supply, could be seen as a \"long-haul\" plan for Sierra Leone, one of their prime tasks would be to screen out the children. The 600 Royal Marines still guarding the airport and key positions in the city will be removed by the middle of next week - news that has thrown Freetown into a frenzy of complaints.
