TOPSHOT - A student who is also a former child soldier, cuts a piece of fabric during a sewing class at the Bria Practical Vocational Training and Literacy Center in Bria on April 1, 2026. In a classroom in Bria, in the unstable eastern Central African Republic, a group of former child soldiers are learning to sew. This is a way to help the teenagers, aged 14 to 17, move on from the violence they suffered at the hands of the country's many armed groups. (Photo by Mariam KONE / AFP via Getty Images)
