School children walk past fishing boats in Maputo,June 27, 2007. Mozambique, which was wracked by a devastating 16-year civil war lasting from independence in 1976 to 1992, remains one of the world's poorest nations, but the former Portuguese colony has become a model for economic reform.

Former child soldiers play cards at a temporary rehabilitation centre in Chad’s capital N’Djamena run by the Christian Children's Fund (CCF) July 18, 2007. They are some of the 413 child fighters demobilised from rebel militia FUC in the past few weeks under a deal between U.N. Children’s Fund UNICEF and Chad’s government. The U.N. Security Council is due to discuss the plight of children in conflict on July 23. In Chad, rights workers say all sides have used child fighters in a 19-month, on-off eastern revolt fomented by violence over the border in Sudan's Darfur.
