Two brothers separated by the Angolan civil war and then reunited after almost 30 years.
That's the dramatic story of Luis Samacumbi and his brother - featured in an exhibition of paintings commissioned by Christian Aid from renowned war artist John Keane.

It is a tale of intense suffering. Amaral Samacumbi was captured at the age of 14 by Unita forces and became one of thousands of child soldiers forced to fight in the civil war.
A few years later his brother Luis - who now runs the development department of Christian Aid partner IECA - was also captured, but this time by government soldiers.
During these years Amaral lost a leg after treading on a land mine, an incident that almost cost him his life. When they met again in 2004, the brothers realised they had both been present at the same battle at the same time, essentially fighting each other on opposing sides.

The suffering of the two brothers and the many other families who were separated by the 40-year war is reflected in a series of eleven paintings by renowned war artist John Keane, which were commissioned by Christian Aid.
The paintings form the centrepiece of a touring exhibition, Children in Conflict, which is showing at London's Flowers Central gallery from 5 March.
On the same day the Community Channel will be broadcasting a television documentary which follows Keane's journey to Angola with Christian Aid in August 2006. Angola in the Frame explores the making of the paintings and the lives of the people who inspired them.
On a journey that took him from the capital Luanda to the remote area of Mavinga in the south, Keane saw for himself the issues faced by millions of young people living in this war-torn country.
