Face-to-face with child soldiers told to rape and kill in South Sudan

[arista]

[A peace deal is holding in South Sudan, but an estimated 19,000 children
are feared to still be in captivity.
Our inquiries also found repeated examples of rape being used as a
weapon of war, and we have also spoken to the child soldiers ordered
to carry out those rapes.
A peace deal and ceasefire agreed by the warring parties last year is still holding,
prompting hundreds of child recruits to run away from their captors,
while others have been freed.
But a further 19,000 children are estimated to still be in captivity in the bush
working for the different militias.]

Typical in Wars in Africa Sadly.

Heartbreaking stuff, sadly it's hard to see them as children now.
