With series of decries coming from Ugandan students in Wuhan, China’s Ambassador to Uganda Zheng Zhu-Qiang, has assured parents of these students studying in China that they will be taken care of, like their own.
The Chinese ambassador met with the parents of Ugandan students who are in Wuhan, to learn their situation during the outbreak of coronavirus.
The parents appreciated China’s efforts to protect their children and said their children are okay in general, with free masks and disinfectants provided by the universities, plus already having online classes at hostels of residence.
The parents however asked the Chinese embassy to consider complaints that the meals they are receiving are little, high prices of groceries, lack of drugs for ordinary illness and finally loneliness, anxiety and idleness at their residences.
Ambassador Zheng Zhu-Qiang said the Embassy would report the complaints to the local government and universities in Wuhan to help the students with their specific needs.
Ugandan students in China have previously demanded that they be flown back but the government promised it would instead support them from wherever they are based.
