Ishmael now


He went to collage at Oberlin. He pursued advocacy work against the abuse of children in wartime. He spoke at the UN and met with leaders including Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela. He works at the Human Rights Watch C29hildren’s Division Advisory Committee and he now lives in Brooklyn. He has been the keynote speaker for several events like the Global Young Leaders Conference 2007 (July 15-26 session), Oberlin College's 175th convocation ceremony, and the 2008 College Conference in Montreat, North Carolina. He recently went back home to Sierra Leone with an ABC News camera. To the point that we emulated the leaders, he said. When the lieutenant or corporal caught a prisoner and slit their throat or something like that, all the young people talked about it and say we want to do that, we want to be like that.
