Jos—The United Middle Belt Youth Movement has decried the prevailing political and security challenges facing the region saying that its people were constantly being attacked and killed just as their property were being destroyed, triggering mass exodus of people from their homeland.

The group, however, asked President Goodluck Jonathan to take urgent steps by addressing the challenges as lives in the region have become solitary, nasty and too short.

Addressing newsmen at the NUJ Press Centre in Jos, the group’s National Leader, Emmanuel Zopmal also urged the federal and state governments to set up camps with adequate medical care for displaced people who had no homes to live.

His words: “Over the years, we have been under intense pressure of attacks and killings which have led to mass exodus of our people from their homeland.”
