Sudan war's hidden danger: Unexploded weapons have injured hundreds
Three years of war have left Sudan's capital studded with unexploded land mines and other weapons that have killed and maimed residents as they try to rebuild their lives.
The threat exists across much of Sudan, but people in Khartoum are relatively unfamiliar with the threat.
One man found children treating an unexploded weapon like a football.
When he took it from them, the blast took two of his fingers and sent shrapnel into his chest.
Experts say it will take years to remove the tens of thousands of items that include land mines and weapons that failed to detonate.
