Meanwhile, Stella Anzoa, one of teachers saidthat some South Sudanese missed their country so much, that’s why they want to return home. “Others are not going home because of hard situation but they feel to get back and start a new life but United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has not yet announced the official repatriation of refugees,” she said.
