Pictures That Speak More Than a Thousand Words-Child Warriors of Africa

There are certain images that you see that will force you to think. A few such photo's are taken by professional photographer and recipient of the Pulitzer prize Larry Price. His most recent work featured child war veterans. Through his lens you can see the horrors that these now young adults will carry forever.
Take for instance Gode Musore, pictured above.  Kidd napped from his parents at the age of 10, Musore was pushed into battle with a machine gun and only given one command: "Kill." Now, after escaping and returning to a somewhat normal life, he is likable and smart. During an interview with Price he explained how he sees, feels, knows only blood, and how he is terrified. Pictures like this can show a you a picture that you might not want to see.
