It's also possible the impact (however small) of free range children such as yourself, helped the militia men you encountered find their own humanity.

- GreeniFi 8y agoThank you for pointing that out. It could also have been their free-range childhoods. These soldiers would not have been press-ganged. I’ve read that elsewhere in Africa, child soldiers are forced by older soldiers to commit atrocities together (rape etc) in order to form a sort of perverse bond or espirit de corps which is otherwise not present when you’re forced to be there.
