Child Soldiers of Sierra Leonne

Why did the rebels and government soldiers want to use children as soldiers?
Rebels and the government used children as soldiers because they are easy to manipulate as they are: smaller, weaker, away from their parents, drugged and hungry.

Why do you think that many of the children said that they have "not future" ?
Maybe because they had such a terrible past that now they can't do anything in life to forget or to erase these atrocities they have done or the ones that have been done to them.
