    Five Ugandans are among more than 200 competitors who have remained in Australia after taking part in last month's Commonwealth Games. The secretary-generaI of Uganda's Olympic Committee says the athletes' actions are "highly regrettable."pic.twitter.com/UlmuXRzRbE

        They shouldn't even dare go back to Uganda because the old dictator would definitely skin them alive. If they must be deported, then at least to a different African country.

        Uganda government have nothing the regret about. They government of Australia should deport them immediately. They know very well these athletes are their solely for economic reasons and that is not a grounds for immigration.

        I’m torn in this. It’s a shame they chose to “disappear” but also back home, these guys don’t have a life! Desperation can make you do a lot of things.
