Sudan: Female Returnees Allege Sexual Harassment

Returnee Nigerian students who were airlifted back to Nigeria from Egypt, have been recounting horrific experiences in the war torn Sudan with some females alleging that they were sexually harassed and were so broke to the extent of picking things from shops and running away.

GWG.ng reports that the first batch of returnees touched down late on Wednesday in an Air Peace plane and an Air Force transport plane.

It was reported that some of them had to leave behind luggage in order to enter the aircraft.

A returnee female student speaking to journalists as they returned at the International Airport Abuja spoke of the humiliations they faced including having to sleep in the open.

“We spent all the money we had. We were so hungry and thirsty. They were harassing us sexually. There was no food, no water to drink. It got to a point we picked things from shops and ran away,” the returnee female student spoke of her excruciating experience among other Nigerians while at the border between Sudan and Egypt.

Another female student told the BBC Hausa Service in an interview, that their legs were swollen due to long hours of stay in the buses.

A male student who spoke on his experience said the situation was so bad that they even had to pay money before they were allowed to urinate, and hoped the war would soon end to enable him go back to Sudan and complete just a semester to round up his programme.
