Abstract
Ifa war breaks out, my child shall be protected,” said Willson Khama as he lay dying from tuberculosis six years ago. Willson was only thirty-five years old and had spent almost half of his life as a child soldier with a guerilla group in Liberia during the country’s civil war from 1989 to 1996. He wanted to make sure that his son would never have to go through what he had experienced.
