UN envoy worried over violence against children in Sudan

THE United Nations envoy charged with reporting on violations against children in conflict zones warned on Thursday she is worried about what’s happening to young people in war-torn Sudan.
Launching the UN secretary-general’s annual report and blacklist of violators, Virginia Gamba also voiced fears about children in Congo and Haiti, as well as those caught in Myanmar’s civil war and the spillover into neighbouring Bangladesh.
“For the future, on the horizon,” she said, “I’m worried about Somalia and Afghanistan.”
