Israel pushes for African migrant deportation - Features - Al Jazeera English:
Tereza Maoun, a 38-year-old mother of six, fled her home in Juba, South Sudan last week when clashes broke out at a nearby military post. When she returned the next morning, she discovered that her house had been ransacked, and all her family's belongings were gone.
"We found that everything is broken. They didn't leave for us anything," said Maoun, who is now staying with friends in another part of the South Sudanese capital. "Even clothes - they took everything from me."
Maoun had been back in South Sudan for about a year before violence broke out on December 15 between government soldiers and rebel factions in the north. "When we came to Juba, we didn't know about Juba. Even we didn't know about South Sudan," said Maoun, who first left her home country in 2003.
She had lived in Egypt before making a dangerous journey through the Sinai desert in 2007 to reach Israel. But in December 2012, Israel deported her and her family to South Sudan.
