A lot of child soldiers lose their minds.

Any child soldier has to go through a lot of love, care and understanding to become normal.

There's no pride in having been a child soldier.

As a child, I didn't know what they mean by 'to die.' So I grew up in a place where people used to die all the time, but a child is not allowed to see a dead body. When you ask, 'Where is so-and so?' you're told, 'He's gone to another world where we all go to live in the future.'

If I sleep for more than half an hour, I get horrible dreams in which I'm firing a gun and helicopters are coming down.

I lost my childhood. I didn't play football or video games. Or have birthdays or the love of a family.
