The fact that he named his child "Freeman" says a whole lot more than we think...
-
When Ayik started crying he just looked like a small child in pain. Poor child, even as an adult he’s still suffering 😢
-
That man has seen so much horror that he couldn’t even be read through his eyes. Very strange that it’s the man that was tortured as a boy, who is haunted by and experienced all that pain continues to feel. He keeps his emotions, his humanity. Ayik is an outstanding human being. He’s stronger than fear.
-
I think that they are both victims of war and I can tell that Anang had his own trauma and has to deal with his own healing and I pray that God will bring complete healing to them both. So happy for the married couple...
-
I sobbed!!!!! I have to say I really respect Anyang. He did not make excuses, he apologised. But we know his story is not different from Arik’s. He lost his family, he has witnessed so much and he himself as a victim of child exploitation but he didn’t not bring up those excuses once, he let the man he hurt do all the talking. What amazing people! Respect and prayers for both men!

I have a friend from Sudan who lost his entire family when he was going to church in a massacre, you could see the relief in his movements and actions when he came to Australia.

A military commander at 16 just after watching 1000+ of his fellow children die, surviving 2 bullet wounds. That was just another day in a teenager's life in a war zone. The pain was deep and he took it out on his victims. The very real fear numbed him.
-
Wow the scars of war When he said he is now living his childhood through his own child 😢 Glad he took the step to forgive
-
Please pray for Sudan man. This country and it’s people have been trough so much and they still are ❤
-
Both of them were robbed of their childhood he was 16 he started the war at 10 very wrong God give you peace
-
As a survivor of abuse, I can only say that the courage and control this man displayed in front of his abuser is absolutely out of this world. God Bless you Aik, may the rest of your life be one of peace and happiness. And Anang, I hope your road to healing is full.
-
Imagine the pain he has gone through, God help you both heal brothers. Forgiveness is powerful.
-
Both men were robbed of their childhood due to the war. Forgiveness is the key.
-
This is heartbreaking... The eyes are the window of the soul...
-
Those child soldiers were horribly mistreated and they witnessed and participated in some of the worst atrocities a human being could ever imagine. He is so brave to confront his tormentor who really was just a kid too. I don’t think I could’ve done it.
-
im crying like a baby with Ayik....i think by talking to eachother of their childhood experiences they can bith heal...it was so sweet to see them meet up with his son after two months.
-
The forgiveness between Ayik and Anyang was simply beautiful...and real. Bless them both. 💙🩵
-
That was so emotional between Ayik and Anya. I was crying so much and couldn't see their faces. Forgiveness is a powerful strength and can mend so many things. Im glad that they are trying to build a friendship. Im not forgetting that when they were both soldiers in Sudan, they were both frightened children.
-
The Ayik segment had me in tears the most. It literally touched my spirit in a way i cant put into words.
-
This is what you called..."The casualties of war". Wish them all the best that life has to offer.
