Child soldiers take Sudan’s civil war to TikTok

Videos of children in Sudan are going viral on social media sites, but the TikTok stars appear to be child soldiers caught up in the country’s civil war. The videos show adolescent boys wearing camouflage fatigues, holding assault rifles, all while surrounded by uniformed soldiers — all documented in a recent exposé by investigative journalism group Bellingcat and Radio Dabanga, an independent Sudanese news organization. The World’s Host Marco Werman spoke to one of the authors, Sebastian Vandermeersch, a researcher with Bellingcat.
