Congolese refugees stage hunger strike
A group of Congolese refugees who were intercepted in Moroto district on May 19th on their way to Kenya have staged a hunger strike. The refugees have vowed not to eat until the authorities allow them to proceed to Kakuma refugee camp in North Western Kenya.
The refugees who are currently staying in the Moroto Police Child and Family Protection Unit, say it is better to stay hungry than eat food before they reach their destination. Nyarubwa Rwanle, the group team leader, says they have overstayed in police custody and want to move before they use up their transport fare in Moroto.
