El Salvador: Jean-Nicolas Beuze and Refugee Agency

el salvador: We are very concerned about the forced recruitment of these children and youth into the gangs, according to Hamilton Spectator. These adolescents are sometimes killed, tortured and raped, said Jean-Nicolas Beuze, the agency's representative in Canada, who is working on a pilot with Ottawa to resettle a small number of the vulnerable children. The UN Refugee Agency will kick off the Children on the Run campaign in North America on Friday to raise 18 million to assist the young refugees fleeing the so-called Northern Triangle of Central America NTCA countries Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. There is widespread violence and impunity. They have no choice but to leave their own countries. These are not economic migrants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
