Mohamed Sidibay, a member of Fordham Law’s class of 2021, was profiled in Reuters and shared the incredible trials that he lived through in order to get to where he is today.
Sometimes Mohamed Sidibay wonders if the last 15 years have been a dream, if he might wake up on someone’s porch in the slums of Sierra Leone’s capital Freetown, where as a homeless former child soldier he would surreptitiously sleep at night.
