A Sudanese Man 4 Days Builds A Tent In Front Of The Bosowa Makassar Tower

MAKASSAR - Makassar Rudenim (Immigration Detention Center) officers, assisted by members of the Makassar Police, secured one refugee citizen of Sudan. This person has been setting up a tent for four days in front of the Bosowa Makassar Tower building.

The man from the country of Sudan, with the initials Yu (30) was taken by the Makassar Rudenim officers after previously refusing to be sent back to his residence, by the Makassar Rudenim officers.

Acting Head of Rudenim Rita, said Yu, had set up a tent in front of the Bosowa tower from Friday, 17 to Monday, December 21.

Yu built a tent and brought items such as clothes, pillows, even a gallon of water and a dispenser.

"What the refugees did was quite disturbing for the pedestrians, especially since he set up a tent in front of the office building, in front of Bosowa," said Acting Head of Rudenim, Rita, contacted by VOI, Wednesday, December 23.

Yu set up a tent at that location as a form of protest at the UNHCR Office located at Manara Bosowa Jalan Jenderal Sudirman, Ujung Pandang District, Makassar City. The man from the State of Sudan, demands resettlement or resettlement.

"So, what we are doing is temporarily securing the refugees, while we coordinate with the Makassar area of UNHCR, and if we want to return to their homestead, we will also send them home," added Rita.

Yu, who has lived in Indonesia for eight years, previously visited the Makassar detention center to convey his wish regarding resettlement, because he felt he had been in Indonesia too long without any clarity on the implementation of the resettlement.

However, according to Rita, the issue of resettlement is not in the realm of detention centers. Rudenim only performs functions related to data collection and supervision of refugees from abroad in Indonesia.
