“We had to eat cattle food; which caused pains made our children sick,” they told Echorouk.

On of them was about to cry. “What must I do when my little child tells me that he has a stomachache due to hunger? If I find a way to commit a suicide, I will kill myself

!”

Others talked about the absence of electricity, water and decent houses. Many schoolboys stopped going to school as it is very as from them in Kafssa. They blamed local officials for all that sufferance.

“We now represent our children and all families. We give Tunisian authorities time to settle our situation. Otherwise, all our children, wives who are 3,500 will join us here in Algeria

.”
