War survivors: Africans unite for amputee soccer
ACCRA, Ghana—Sani Boubakar, 28, lost his right leg 10 years ago in an auto accident in his hometown of Doutchi, Niger.
“On that day, I knew I would be disabled forever,” he said.
He moped around his family’s home for two years until he discovered other young men missing legs but playing soccer in a new national team for the Amputee Football Federation of Africa.
