Ex-combatants Ahmed Gray, left, and his twin brother Eugene show bullet wounds they received during the civil war, on May 1, 2008, in Monrovia, Liberia. Ahmed and Eugene, both 28, who joined militias when they were 12 years old and fought against each other at one point, are now homeless. Although the country's 14-year civil war ended in 2003, many ex-combatants are still struggling to survive due to the lack of jobs in a weak economy.
