Letter to UNICEF
This letter to the UNICEF child soldier reintegration executive director represents an opposing viewpoint to the text regarding both attitudes towards trauma in general and apprehensions about reintegrating child soldiers more specifically. The “concerned citizen of Freetown” lays out his arguments for why childhood trauma is irrelevant when considering how to mete out justice for the war crimes committed by child soldiers. He does not believe reintegration is possible, nor does he think it is fair.
