(Al Jazeera) – John was taken when he was 15 years old. He is one of 700 children who were forcibly recruited by South Sudan’s National Liberation Movement. “They arrested me when we were going to the garden,” he told Al Jazeera. “Life in the bush was hard and if you leave, they will look for you until they find you again and they will take you back.”
