Akujang, 15

‘I was married in January last year when I was 14.

My husband is 18 years old. I’m his first wife.

I’m the eldest girl,

so it was my job to cook

and work in the garden

so I never went to school.

I was married off

– I did not have a choice.

I’m happy with my husband.

He treats me well.

My baby is four months old.

She is called Anipe.

Hunger is our biggest problem.

Last year

we cultivated groundnuts and sorghum

but there was no rain, so nothing grew.

We had nothing to eat’

Girls of South Sudan

on gunshot wounds, hunger and hope – in pictures

Teenage girls in this war-torn country

face immense challenges

– child marriage, early pregnancy,

lack of education and often extreme hunger.

Photographer Kate Holt travelled to South Sudan

to document their stories

and ask them about their fears and dreams

Ethnic Cleansing in South Sudan

The swamps where villagers try

to escape the atrocities of the civil war

offer a glimpse at the catastrophe

unfolding in the world's newest country.

If It Were My Home

The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife, evacuations of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

But you may have one very basic question

that you can't easily find an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

You can look at maps and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com lets you do just that.
