Dozens of families are stranded at Juba Port without food and medical care for over one month because they do not have a plot to put up a makeshift dwelling in this promised land that they are voluntarily returning to live in.
CRN News visited Juba Port today and registered some tales of return.Asunta Simon, a mother of three, explained that they have come from Kosti, in the Sudan, over a month ago and their destination was Juba.
She said when they arrived at the port they were told that people destined to Juba have no land to stay in.
Mama Assunta added that they have been staying in Juba Port for one month now but no official has come to see or to help them.
She decried that her family is living in dire conditions because food is running out and her daughter was sick and she could not take her to the hospital.
Nyokun Nyoka went to Khartoum long time ago and all her relatives back here have died so she has no place to go to.
She said she is sick and her baby was seriously ill.
She added that her situation is very dangerous because there is no food.
Betty Scopas said her family spent six months in Kosti waiting for a barge to bring them home, but now again they stayed for one month in Juba Port as foreigners.
She added that they thought they were going to be welcomed and the Government was going to give them land but they were shocked that things turn out quite the opposite way.
Dozens of families who returned from Kosti in the Sudan a month ago are still staying in Juba Port living under mango trees without clean water and facing hunger.
