Teenage girls were gang raped and boys between the ages of 10 and 15 were conscripted to join their ranks," he said. Mary Lebbie, who reached Makeni with her two grandsons, told the BBC that the RUF had conscripted hundreds of Koidu youths, who are now engaged in massive diamond mining operations on Blocks 5, 6, 7, and 13 in Kamara and Gbense Chiefdoms. Lebbie said the RUF conscripted the boys' father, and that five rebels had raped and killed her 15-year-old grandaughter as they tried to make their way to Makeni. Many people had taken to the bush and were surviving on roots and leaves, praying that ECOMOG would arrive in Kono District and liberate them, she said."
