Hostage School Kids of Accra |
 |
 |

|
It is past 7 p.m. Akua, and Junior lie huddled on the cold verandah in a corner at the school entrance. They are still in their uniforms. Junior, six years, uses his schoolbag for a pillow, while Akua, nine, tries brushing off mosquitoes from her brother’s body. They are both under a yellow bulb, which has a swarm of insects. The school compound is dark and the two young children are alone; well, except for the catapult-wielding, tobacco-chewing night watchman.
