Fatherland TV, a rebel-run television, shows how new recruits, some as young as 13, go through the rigours of military training in northern Cote d'Ivoire. One of the recruits, Alpha Soumahoro, a high school dropout from Bouake, the second city of Cote d'Ivoire, which is held by rebels, says he is fighting to restore the ‘dignity' of his ethnic group, the Dioulas.
