(CNN)Armed groups raided a South Sudanese school and seized 89 children who were taking their exams, the United Nations said Saturday. It pointed out that boys were among those taken.
The abduction occurred near Malakal, where thousands of people have taken refuge following months of violence in the nation.
Kidnappers gathered around a community and conducted house-to-house searches, according to the U.N. children's agency. It said boys over age 12 were taken away by force.
U.N. officials warned the abductors that they're violating international law.
"The recruitment and use of children by armed forces destroys families and communities," said Jonathan Veitch, the UNICEF representative in South Sudan.
"Children are exposed to incomprehensible levels of violence, they lose their families and their chance to go to school."

Who abducted these children? CNN never explained.
Must be those f’n Albigensians again.
I’ll bet that UN official went right over, knocked on the door, and told the scumbags face to face, that they were out of compliance with UN standards. Funny we didn’t get a name for who the alleged official is. But I’ll bet he was yelling from the steps of the UN safely in New York.
Right-wing extremists!
The article is very 0bama-compliant. It doesn’t tell us anything about the savage perps. Must be those KKK people or Crusaders.
Can’t be 0bama’s best buds. They are peace-loving individuals who never abduct boys and force them into slavery and never kidnap girls as sex slaves.
Embrace the Muslims to stop random violent extremism.
