In Sudan, CEOAFRICA gathered that while digging up for scrap metal in an old army barracks, 5 children have been killed in South Sudan’s capital, Juba.

According to an army spokesman, our source gathered that the children that were killed by the old mortar shell were between the ages of 10-14. Report says a Ugandan man who was also with them, presumably to buy the scrap metal, was wounded too.

 Apart from the explosives left over from the war, rebels have been accused of laying new mines, particularly in Unity state near the border with Sudan

South Sudan gained independence in 2011 after a long conflict with the north but it remains one of the world's least developed countries
