The abduction of children in South Sudan

Download The abduction of children in South Sudan

Over one thousand children are feared still missing in Pibor, South Sudan. An initiative is now underway to try and reunite abducted children with their families. Over the past few weeks, around 200 of them have been brought back home. But why are they being abducted and by whom?

Also why did thousands of young people attempt to cross the border between Morocco and Ceuta, in the northern part of the continent over the weekend? And did you know that Ceuta is still a Spanish territory?

And why has South Africa's famous son, Elon Musk still not agreed a deal with the South African government and his company, Starlink?
