Overview/Introduction
When the Sudanese Governments hostilities erupted into the country's third civil war and rebel groups became involved in the conflict, innocent youth were abducted to join the fight. Although this recent civil war is not the first the country has seen and not by far the worse, the long term effects these conflicts are having on young minds and bodies is devastating. The young generation of Sudan is being set into a frame of mind that believes they should be out serving their country and that it is more important than attending school and getting an education. This mindset is often the result of psychological upheavals in their early stages of life, that increase the child's vulnerability and make it easy for terrorist, military and liberation groups to abduct and brainwash them. Most of the children find that the mission and work that is expected of them is hard and not what they believed they were signing up for. Most of the young recruits end up in graves, disabled or psychologically effected from being made to participate and witness horrors no child should ever have to experience.
