Tears Of Joy........A #Mother meets her children again, 2 years after being separated by war

 
The extraordinary reunion, in a suburb of the South Sudan capital Juba, was thanks to British-based charity Save the Children

#Godwin ....Grace Anzoa thought she'd never see her offspring Rebecca, 6, and Abi, 5, again after they're separated by gun-wielding militiamen in South Sudan .
  Tens of thousands of families are living through a similar nightmare, separated from their families by fighting in the country's brutal civil warThe reunion that had lifted Grace and her family from what she called a 'nightmare¿ of uncertainty and fearGrace had managed to escape the gunfire with her children, but had returned home when she realised her 13-year-old brother wasn't with them - and became separated from her daughtersApproximately 65 per cent of refugees and internally displaced people are children, while 12 per cent are separated from or unaccompanied by their parents and carersRebecca, six, sits with her sister Abi, five, at their grandmother's home in Waat, Jonglei state, South SudanWhat started as a power struggle emanating from the capital, Juba, spread alarmingly with the country¿s 64 tribes taking sides - creating the current violent civil warThe disbelieving youngsters were shown a photograph of the mother they had not seen for two years. Their faces broke into huge smiles of delight
