He stated angrily that if the government cannot meet their demands, it should facilitate their return to their home countries.
“If you are tired of us take us back to our country. We cannot accept to die of hunger. We better go and die from bullets, that is accepted as it is what caused us to be here. The issue of water is not very big, we can survive. But the issue is food,” he told Nation.
He further stated that they are not demanding education or medical care, only food to sustain themselves.
