When Dennis Ocan was 10, he was kidnapped and forced to serve as a child soldier for the Lord’s Resistance Army until he escaped 13 years later.
Now after weeks at a rehabilitation centre for former fighters, he has finally returned home.
While hundreds of child soldiers have been through the centre thousands remain missing.
