Apr. 14 - Protests have been held around the world to mark five years of war in Darfur.

Organised by an international coalition of activists and rights groups, the demonstrations focused especially on the more than one million children caught up in the conflict. International experts estimate some 200,000 people have died and 2.5 million been driven from their homes since mostly non-Arab rebels took up arms in the Sudanese region five years ago.

Sonia Legg reports.
