Boy soldier prisoner of war in a concentration camp at Lassu in Southern Sudan. The Sudanese Peoples' Liberation Army utilized children from 5 to 18 years of age as camp workers and soldiers. Many of these boys were orphaned by the civil war that started in 1983. They turned to the army because they had no other place to go or they were forcibly recruited. Organizations such as SOS Children's Villages and Samaritan's Purse work to trace the families of liberated child soldiers and provide education, counseling and security.
