@muldoun45 Why do you say he is a horrible kid? His expression throughout the interview, it is not a smile, it is a grimace. Compare his expression to that of a happy child and you will find that his face shows pain, not joy. Clenching the teeth together keeps the tears at bay and allows him to speak. He speaks easily of amputating and killing people, but he speaks just as easily of wishing he would die. Pity this poor child, who was forced to do inhuman things. He is a victim too.

@prettybird367 I could not agree with you anymore. The kid is speaking my language and he is pretty much saying that he has nightmares at night when he sleeps and he prays to God to forgive him for things that he was forced to do and not of his own doing. I think we should cut his some slack. If there is anyone we should blame it should Foday Sankoh who has now passed on and would surely have some explaining to do to God.
