Sierra Leone

In my next essay i am planning to write about the terrors that was facing this country for a decade of hardship massacres. The movie Blood diamond is a great example on what the small country was facing. A great documentary is The Diamond Life by Stephen Marshall and Josh Shore. In this documentary it shows the viewer the truth that come from working with the RUF, a rebel organization who is willing at any cost to get power, on becoming a military goverment. RUF kidnaps young kids from their villages and trains them on becoming soldiers to fight what the RUF believe in. Many of these children have no conscious of what they are doing, many have already killed hundred before they even reach sixteen.
