One of the refugees, Christine Dang’a, says life is getting hard each day in the camps and the ratio of food cannot sustain families.
Due to lack of food at times IDPs take only one meal a day to ensure that some food is left for the next day, she points.
She urges South Sudanese leaders talking in Khartoum, Sudan to come out with a peaceful solution to the conflict in the country.
‘I heard about the ongoing peace process in Khartoum even I saw it in the TV. So this people in the camps are also aware of the process and feel like participating in the discussion too. I urge President Kiir and Machar to sympathize with us people who are suffering in the camps by bringing peace back to South Sudan so that we can go back’, Dang’a urges the leaders.
Maneno Charity still feels pain of losing her step father during the conflict in July 2016 between the government and SPLM-IO forces.
She does not want to return to South Sudan unless the country attains peace and everything goes o normal.
‘I will not go back; I will still wait until these people who welcomed us to Uganda tell us. Then that’s the time I will consider going back. Staying in another country is not good, I need our leaders to be in peace and they should love one another so that I can go back to my country’. Maneno pleads.
On Monday President Salva Kiir and Dr Riek Machar expressed hope for a breakthrough as they start peace talks in Khartoum.
The two leaders met in Khartoum after their meeting last week in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ended without an agreement.
