The lives of fighters lured to faraway wars
Ira Porter
Education Writer
Living off the land, surviving in the jungle, making bombs, and getting into gun battles. Does this sound like a Hollywood blockbuster? As our contributing reporter Manuel Rueda writes today, it鈥檚 the life for hundreds of soldiers from Colombia thousands of miles away from home. Over the past decade, the United Nations found, an estimated 10,000 Colombian ex-fighters have turned mercenary, lured by promises of wealth to take up arms in Ukraine, Mexico, and across Africa. Many never return.
