(HRW) – Bonifacio told Human Rights Watch that he was 16 years old when South Sudanese soldiers snatched him away from his family in 2016 to fight a war grownups begun when he was only 13. During his training, he was beaten and whipped and shot at. Later, soldiers forced him to go and kidnap other youths. Bonifacio escaped from the armed forces last year and made his way to a UN protection camp. He now goes to school and wants those who stole his youth away from him punished.
