Armed groups in Mozambique are increasingly kidnapping children as a warfare tactic, putting victims at risk of sexual violence, early marriage and being used as fighters in the country s worsening conflict, aid groups said on Wednesday.
At least 51 children have been abducted over the past year in violence that has killed thousands and displaced many more in a northern region torn by an Islamist insurgency, but aid workers said the true number of kidnappings could be much higher.

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, have denied a report that they named their new-born daughter Lilibet a long-time nickname of Harry s grandmother Queen Elizabeth II before asking the queen herself. Lilibet Lili Diana Mountbatten-Windsor was born Friday morning in Santa Barbara, California, weighing 7 pounds and 11 ounces.
The newest royal s first name comes from her 95-year-old great-grandmother and her middle name honors Harry s late mother, Princess Diana.
Earlier on Wednesday, BBC News reported citing an unnamed Buckingham Palace source that the queen had not been asked by Harry and Meghan before they gave the name to their second child.
"I just [prayed] for God to help me deliver all my children in a healthy condition, and for me and my children to come out alive," the new mom of 10 reportedly said.
