A Sudanese former Childs soldier who has become a chart-topping rap star in Kenya is set to launch his first album, calling it a "prayer for peace."

Emmanuel Jal, who fought in the south of Sudan 12 years ago - having been trained to use a gun at the age of eight - hit number one in the Kenyan charts earlier this month.
Now he is following up that success with a new album - launched this weekend in the capital Nairobi - entitled Gua.
"It's a sort of prayer for peace in my motherland," Jal told BBC World Service's Outlook programme.
"There has been war, so it's talking about if there was peace in my land, it would be so good everyone would come back home, there would be no tribalism, no racism, no girls being forced to marry, no child soldiers." -- BBC
