Armed groups raid South Sudan school

While sitting in my dorm room thinking about what I read during this article, I thought to myself what would happen tomorrow in class if groups of armed men raided the classroom, and abducted everyone in it. Throughout this post I kept trying to understand what happened in the South Sedan School where armed groups raided the students, and abducted 89 children who were just taking their exams that day. Even though officials on the United Nations told these armed men that it was against the international law, they still got together near an area around Malakal Sudan and went house to house taking the people being harmed, starting with the young boys over the age of 12. The article also stated that these children are in extreme areas of violence, and they are loosing everything they have and even their possibility of going to school. From this article, I really learned to appreciate the safety we have here in the U.S. and tried to understand what it would be like living in these situations that other kids have to face on a day-to-day basis.
