This is not Darfur related, but it is similar in its particular human rights concern, and is also in Africa. This article is about a child soldier who escaped from FDLR and is finally going home after a long difficult process. It gives some background about what is going on, and then goes on to discuss the issues that former child soldiers have as they go through the rehabilitation and readjustment processes. Pretty horrific that a child would have to go through this, but also fairly fascinating to read about the lasting effects, not just the immediate part of their terrible situation.
