Jany Dobual, 10 years, 1st grade student, Bilimkun Kebele, Lare woreda, Gambella Region.
“I was taken at dawn and alone. My parents have gone to visit other relatives. I got some help from a neighbor who wanted to help me escape but we didn’t succeed. I was taken to the forest. It was nice when I was playing with a girl from my village then they separated us- I was sad again. It was easier when she was around since we played together. If they ask us something and we didn’t do it, they’ll bit us but the problem was, we didn’t understand their language. I was thinking of escaping the whole time because I didn’t expect that they will set us free. Though am brave enough, I thought the others will be scared to collaborate. I want to continue to learn. My favorite subjects are English and sport.” © UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Meklit Mersha

Nyamuoch Gatdet, 9 years, 1st grade student, Kuanyluaalthoan kebele, Lare woreda, Gambella Region.
“It was dawn. I was asleep and woke up when I heard the noise of a gunfire. We immediately run out of the house. I remember being taken to a forest. We were afraid and scared. We were running fast but they caught me. Heard that my father was killed that day- didn’t know about it until my return.
The Abductors are always talking to us but we don’t understand anything. I think they were trying to teach us their language. I only met one friend from my village but the rest of the children were strangers. I am so happy to be back to my family. When I grow up I only want to do good things to human beings by becoming a teacher or a doctor. I will never forget this experience. It was such unexpected return- I was thinking they will lock us there forever. Me and my mother cried for a long time with happiness. Now that my mother is with me, I am not scared anymore. I miss my siblings so I want to go back to my village soon.”© UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Meklit Mersha
I found these print ads for Unicef Canada [unicef.ca] on jumento, a Spanish blog.
No word on whether they were an actual campaign or done on spec.

Kueth Tney, 13, 3rd grade student, Chatyier kebele, Jika Woreda, Gambella Region.
“I remember they came with guns and took us to the forest. I was with my friend who still hasn’t returned. At first, we heard a gunfire, we were playing when caught. My mother escaped with another son on foot- they took them very far. Both the rebels and the children were many.
When I was taken, I felt that I have died already- I had very little hope in me left. I am deeply thinking about those who haven’t returned- a friends of mine Bath who is my playmate hasn’t returned. I want to continue my education. Now that I am with my parents, I feel safe.” © UNICEF Ethiopia/2016/Meklit Mersha

Fighting in North Kivu is threatening the lives of children. Tens of thousands of children have been displaced in the last weeks, in the confusion of flight children have been separated from their parents. Already malnourished children are now even more vulnerable. In the crowded makeshift camps measles and cholera are growing dangers. Thousands of children are unable to start the school year. Armed groups are using at least a 1000 children and more are being recruited.
UNICEF, through a network of partners, is assisting 60,000 people around Muganga and Minova in the Kivus. UNICEF is identifying separated children and reunifying them with their families. Rape survivors are being given medical and psychosocial support. Clean water distribution and latrines have been set up. Displaced families have received temporary shelter materials, bedding and cooking sets. All children under the age of 14 are being vaccinated against measles and pregnant women against neo natal tetanus. 2000 children have been screened for malnutrition. Emergency education programmes have started.
UNICEFs partners are AVSI, Caritas, the International Rescue Committee, Heal Africa, the Norwegian Refugee Council, Save the Children UK, Solidarités, World Vision International and the provincial health service of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
UNICEF has assisted 350,000 displaced persons since the start of fighting in Sake last November. UNICEFs actions are part of a coordinated response with other UN organizations; Office Coordination for Humanitarian Affairs, United Nations High Commission for Refugees, World Food Programme, World Health Organisation & The Mission of the United Nations in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Despite all this the majority of displaced persons remain inaccessible due to the fighting. UNICEF calls upon all parties to the conflict to; protect the rights of children, end the recruitment of children and ensure humanitarian access to all displaced persons.

Mugunga is about 10km from Goma. The first people started setting up a makeshift camp in May after fighting in Ufumumba. By now the camp has grown into three sites and a fourth official camp will be opened in the coming days. The fighting in the last days has led to a large influx of new displaced. Registrations in the coming days will tell us how many there are but it should be well over fifteen thousand people and maybe into the twenties.
For a variety of reasons UNICEF and other humanitarian actors were slow to respond in Muganga. Since then we have assisted with distributions of non food items, construction of latrines, showers and the rehabilitation of the water distribution network. However new arrivals in the camp remain unassisted and our new projects for education, child friendly spaces, health and nutrition have yet to start.
To stay in touch with the people we work with I will be visiting the camp regularly to document their lives and develop a better understanding of their situation. On Saturday I went up early in the morning, met up with the committee for the displaced and asked if it would be alright to come to the camp from time to time. Fortunately they said yes and I spent the next couple of hours drifting through the camp as people got on with life, building huts, cooking, having breakfast.
