"CONDEMNED - Mental health in African countries in crisis"
Former child soldiers smoke marijuana laced with heroin at the informal settlement known as Trench Town in Liberia's capital Monrovia. Thousands of Liberia's children were conscripted to fight in the country's bloody civil wars between 1989 and 2003. Emboldened by drugs and sadistic commanders, they killed and mutilated their fellow citizens in conflicts that left 250,000 dead. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is rife in these former child soldier ghettos. Photo Robin Hammond/Panos. Liberia, January/February 2013.
