'I feel like my country is the worst country in the world'

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

This Friday, South Sudan, Africa's youngest nation marks 10 years of Independence. But the great expectations of a decade ago can now best be described as disappointment, pain, or even a nightmare. The UN children's agency, UNICEF, in its latest report says a record 4.5 million children - that's two out of three - are in desperate need of humanitarian support. So what are their hopes and dreams as the country marks a decade? Seventeen-year-old Christine Saida Andrea is one of those on UNICEF's Child Reporters Programme in South Sudan, and she's been speaking to Focus on Africa's Bola Mosuro.
