A few years later his younger brother Luis, who now works for a Christian Aid partner organisation in Angola, was also forced into action, this time by government soldiers.<\/li>\n<li>It was almost 30 years before the brothers were reunited. What follows &#8211; starting with Amaral &#8211; is their testimony.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018Unita taught me how to fight. And then they put me on the frontline. Before I was kidnapped I\u2019d never seen a gun before.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018It was very difficult going from being a schoolboy to a soldier, especially as I was against the war. I wanted to study, not fight, but I didn\u2019t have a choice.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018After I\u2019d been in the army for many years I trod on a landmine and nearly died. Doctors had to cut my leg off.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018After nearly 30 years apart, I was happy and overwhelmed to be with Luis again. He was just a small boy when I last saw him so it was a shock to discover that he was nearly the same height as me.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018We found out that Luis and I fought in the same battle, on the same front, against each other. I was horrified when I realised I could have killed my own brother.<\/li>\n<li>\u2018I\u2019m so grateful that we are together today.\u2019<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianaid.org.uk\/whatwedo\/eyewitness\/africa\/sierra_leone_visit.aspx\">HIV work in Sierra Leone, watch the video<\/a>: &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; Much more in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianaid.org.uk\/whatwedo\/eyewitness\/africa\/sierra_leone_visit.aspx\">What we do<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christian Aid is a Christian organisation that insists the world can and must be swiftly changed to one where everyone can live a full life, free from poverty.
