ナイジェリア軍は子供の捕虜をとっている？

　まあ、とっているだろうし、とっていますね、という。しかしそれをどう表現するかは立場によっても違うだろう。とりあえず、親に爆弾用に教育されている子を拘束するのは、捕縛とかなんとかいうより保護というべきじゃないか、というのは尤もな見解ではある。

BBC Nigeria's Boko Haram crisis: Military denies detaining thousands of children 10 September 2019

「Nigeria has denied allegations it has detained thousands of children for suspected links to Islamist militant group Boko Haram.

A report released by US-based group Human Rights Watch says children have been held for years in "horrific conditions".」

　ただし、その「保護」の具合がどうかというのは…まあ、常識的にかんがえて、西側基準で十分ではないだろうねえ…。

「The group has urged the country to release the children.

But the military said the report was "false", saying they were treated as "victims of war and not as suspects".

While the army does detain women and children they say have been indoctrinated by Boko Haram, the children are "adequately fed, profiled and de-radicalised before their release".」

　ナイジェリア政府側としては、ちゃんと食わしてやってる、という。

「Detainees were threatened or even beaten by soldiers, some children said, while soldiers reportedly made advances to female soldiers or took them out of their cells for extended periods. One girl in the report says females in her cell became pregnant during their imprisonment.」

　食わせたついでに妊娠させたりしてもいるようですが。
