Notice
Summary
The U.S. is easing some restrictions on military and security aid to countries like the DRC, Ethiopia, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Syria, and Russia, even though they’ve had issues with child soldiers. This means certain types of training, equipment, and licenses can now be provided to help these countries improve security. These changes take effect immediately and show the U.S. believes these governments are making real progress against using child soldiers.
