Young Peter Oloya was abducted by the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) rebels in Northern Uganda and conscripted into its ranks as a child soldier.
Oloya was only 11 in 1994, when the rebels descended on Lemo Bongolewich village in Kitgum district and took him together with his mother, maternal auntie and her baby, and his cousin as they harvested sweet potatoes and sim sim in their garden at home.
