- W197083061 abstract "On a warm late-March evening, the sky still swirling with the afterclouds of an unexpected storm, two young Sierra Leonean men stood before a bonfire, surrounded by their families, elders, and neighbors from surrounding villages. Once the closest of friends, Sahr and Nyumah had been brutally torn apart by Sierra Leone’s vicious civil war while still in their early teens—one boy forced by rebel soldiers to beat his friend and kill his friend’s father. The two came face to face that night, with each other and with their pasts. One man testified about his suffering; the other admitted his guilt and begged for forgiveness, which—in an astonishing act of grace—was freely given. What may be more astonishing, however, is that Sahr and Nyumah are not alone. As part of a new groundbreaking national initiative, similar acts of truth-telling and reconciliation are taking place between victims and offenders in villages across Sierra Leone, igniting a person-to-person peace that has eluded the country since the war ended more than six years ago. Sahr and Nyumah’s experience—and the experiences of others like them—illustrates the ways in which thinking small may be the key" @default.
