@duduade don't be bitter about it. Some left the country for medical purposes, some business, some to visit family. It's not a matter of being a coward.
Anyone with the resources could choose to travel out of the country, it's their choice.
Some people aren't fortunate enough but, that doesn't mean you should get angry at those who can.
And them being ignored is a big eyesore. They weren't treated badly in a foreign country so why should they be treated badly here??
Their planning was not meticulously done and was a big inconvenience for people.
