A Child Soldier in Liberia

Archie saw his family killed through a crack in a door. He was abducted into a rebel army at the age of nine and forced to commit atrocities. If he did not laugh when he did so then he was beaten. This photograph was taken when he was fourteen, after the war had ended and he was living with a foster family in Monrovia. Archie told Ofir that he has two hearts, a good heart and a bad heart.
