He and his wife and three children were among a group of 159 Burundian refugees who decided to return home - a 72-kilometre drive across the Nemba border point into Burundi. 'We have come home because a country is like a parent. When you are away from your parents, you feel like something is missing,' said Donatien, as he waited to go through COVID-19 testing and screening at the Kinazi transit center in Burundi.
