A 15-year-old boy who has been missing for three days after kidnappers grabbed him as his father escorted him to school has been found unhurt in Nairobi.

Duho Artan, a Somali mother, one of the parents whose children are detained in Libyan jails has Friday requested from the both Libya and Somali government to release their children and return to their country.

It was J.F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States of America that said, "Children are the most valuable resource and the best hope for the future." Little wonder that this century, which started with no right for the African child is winding up on the note of recognition and appreciation of children rights and concerted efforts to see such rights not only respected but also protected.
