From BBC:The UN is working to release more than 80 child soldiers taken prisoner by the Chad army during fighting with rebels.
The children were seized from the rebel Union of Resistance Forces (UFR) group, the UN children's fund (Unicef) says.
The UFR mounted a failed attack in the east of Chad early in May which led to troops capturing many prisoners.
