In one of the most atrocious civil wars, RUF (Revolutionary United Front) rebels in Sierra Leone (West Africa) terrorized their own people for a decade. Children were abducted and forced to become child soldiers and sex slaves while others were mutilated without any agenda other than the pursuit of "blood diamonds".

ISSA, CHILD SOLDIER, WAS HELD IN FIRE BY RUF REBELS FOR RESISTING ORDERS.
