When Killers Cry

The RUF was notorious for severing the genital areas of those victims it did not murder, particularly children.

The RUF indicated that the reason for these actions was that amputees could no longer mine diamonds, which might be used to support government troops. RUF members are also said to have practiced cannibalism. The RUF made extensive use of children as combatants, using horrific methods to numb their new recruits to barbarity. Thousands of abducted boys and girls were forced to serve as soldiers or as prostitutes, and those chosen to be fighters were sometimes forced to murder their parents.

Much of the CDF was made up of the Kamajor tribesmen who were accused of pillaging, terrorizing, and killing civilians in Sierra Leone, as well as employing. Will they forget that they are Temne, Mende, Kono, Kamajor tribesmen and share time together?

Will they maintain their rebel group affiliation and enmity? One thing is clear; despite their cruelty and brutality to other people they still have emotions because I heard Sesay sob on the phone prior to his departure for Kigali. View the discussion thread. Samuel Hinga Norman, the former Interior Minister, died in custody. Their cruelty and barbarism was only equalled by that of the rebels under RUF.

This book is not yet featured on Listopia. Edwards's young adult novels, I delved deep into South African history with this one expecting great things. This isn't as fast paced a thriller as I expected it to be, but that's not a bad thing. We really do get the feel of tension and a traumatic build up that explodes into a sort of 'whodunnit' at the end.

It was great, and I certainly didn't suspect who the 'killer' was.

What I particularly loved was the South African history. As someone who was bo Having enjoyed K.



As someone who was born in the late 80's, apartheid missed me by. We were never taught about it in school and I never witnessed the events on TV. Edwards captures the sense of racism and seclusion of colour with such aplomb. I learned while I read and I found myself savouring the chapters wanting to know more about events that actually happened in history just as much as wanting to read on with Hannah in this fictional story.
