"I feel very bad, so bad", he said, but he insists it was satanic powers that possessed him in the past and he cannot be held responsible.

How very convenient. He wasn't responsible, 'Satan' was.

Under his and other clansa sick urban myth came that if you rape an infant your aids will get cured

Unfortunately, this horrible idea is rampant in South Africa too. Numbers of HIV infections there are high, and men claim they needed to rape the children because this would cure them.

On October 2016 Blahyi appealed to donors to donate half a million dollars to his Journeys Against Violence NGO which trains child soldiers and drug addicts in farming and construction

Which means he still has access to children.....

The Civil War in their country is over, yet no one who personally led the charge and committed atrocities on thousands of children, sacrificing and torturing and raping children to death and forcing them to fight in wars should become an inspirational figure. He still has access and it's sick.

I know about child soldiers, but I had no idea there was an army of children who were forced to fight naked, and that there was an army leader who was into satanic sacrifices, but then, the latter shouldn't be a surpise when you think of it.

Many people in Africa are into Voodoo and similar belief systems, and many still believe in witches, in fact there are still witch hunts, and 'witches' will get killed, so will albino children, and (graphic) their flash will be eaten and made to 'medicine'. Horrible.

(May I make a suggestion? This post is excellent, but maybe some people might be grateful if there was a 'NSFW' at the top - so they will know that some stomach turning stuff will follow. Thank you!)

My understanding was that it was only General Butt Naked who actually fought naked. The children would usually wear dresses (probably stolen from the women they had killed).

No, many of them were naked :/ "Some of Blahyi's soldiers--often boys in their early teens and younger--would enter battle naked; others would wear women's clothes.[1] In June 2006 Blahyi published his autobiography that included pictures of him fighting with a rifle, wearing nothing but sneakers" During this warlords reign child rape and death and human sacrifice happened en masse daily.
