Rising use of Somali child soldiers

[Al Jazeera] Anti-government fighters using kiddies in their war against government in Mogadishu.
Comes as a surprise, doesn't it?
*sigh* Islam has a long tradition of eating the seed corn.
Question: what are the population flows to/from Somalia? I know some are flleing to Yemen (a mind-boggling thought), and the jihadis are arriving to establish the Caliphate or go straight to Paradise without collecting $200, whichever comes first, but are significant percentages of locals escaping the general slaughter?
