(The Telegraph) – At 10 years old, Jonathan Okwir was abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA), taken into the bush and trained to kill with a machete and gun. Along with thousands of other child soldiers, Mr Okwir was forced to commit violent acts on others, including killing a young child. Now almost a decade later Mr Okwir has emerged from his experience wanting to be a leader, dedicating his life to helping and honouring the abductees and victims of the LRA.
