"I'm talking to Macamo and Quive, and other young men in a few villages nearby, because of something they all have in common. During the 16-year civil war that devastated this sprawling coastal nation (Mozambique) in southeastern Africa, Macamo, Quive, and their neighbors were all child soldiers, abducted from their villages as kids and taken to distant camps run by the rebel forces trying to topple the government at the time." (U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT) The author visits with former child soldiers in Mozambique and discusses how they have fared in trying to resume normal lives.
