Explanation

A Long Way Gone was published in 2007, after the Sierra Leone Civil War officially ended in 2002. Child soldiers were still a problem in parts of the world at the time, so the statement that it was published when child soldiers were still a world problem is accurate. Beah was an adult when he wrote the memoir, and it was not published in the 19th century.
