Ot: Farc demobilization

[Brother in Arms]

I listened to an absolutely fascinating radio show on NPR about FARC in Colombia demobilizing.

Many of these guys and gals were 13- 15 when they joined and it's been 15 years.....never used a mobile phone, never had any conveniences. They were told they would be murdered or there families if they quit the movement.

They talked to a woman who had been forced to have five abortions so she could continue to be a soldier.

Very dark stuff....but also very very Twilight 2000!!!
