Child soldiers still being recruited in South Sudan
It was a normal school day in May when Stephen and the 80 or so pupils were packed into classroom number 8 in South Sudan.
But as the children listened to the words of their teacher, soldiers from the rebel forces surrounded the school's pale-blue, concrete classrooms.

They were given no choice. They were now the latest young recruits, in South Sudan's bloody civil war.
