Testimony of an ex-child soldier #video#CentralAfricanRepublic In the Central African Republic, thousands of children have joined violent militias – either by force, or by choice. Since 2013, the country has been locked in civil war, with several disparate groups fighting each other. Some kids have joined the Christian Anti-balaka group and wear elaborate amulets to protect them against guns. Others fight for Seleka Muslim rebels with AK-47s.

However, children traumatised by war have to go through a rehabilitation process before going home. This child who we filmed for Children of the Front shared his memories.
