Centre looks to help most dangerous, but wretched, children return home

IN THE rocky backstreets of Goma lies a small compound where some of the most dangerous but wretched children in the Congo play and sleep.

Inside its 3.5 metre-high walls covered by barbed wire is further evidence that the ongoing conflict is one of the most savage yet forgotten wars in the world.

Youngsters lucky enough to escape or be rescued from armed groups often end up at the transit centre.
