Sierra Leone's children of war
What happened to Sierra Leone's child soldiers?
In 2002 photojournalist Caroline Irby and former BBC reporter Tom McKinley arrived in Sierra Leone to cover the fallout from the country’s brutal conflict. They travelled with children caught up in the fighting, as they were reunited with their families. Now, just over two decades on, Caroline returns to West Africa to track them down.
