Dr. Jessica Orakpo walked for 12 hours to catch a bus to flee the country, only to be told she wasn’t allowed to board.
“I was begging. The official literally looked me in my eye and said: ‘Only Ukrainians. That’s all. If you are Black, you should walk.’” she recalls.

This became a reality for most Africans.
“We were thousands and thousands of Africans & Indians at the borders. And also the Ukrainians of course. They had two gates (at the border): one for the Ukrainians only. And then the other was for every other person.” says Vukile Dlamini

How did Dr.Kieran Moore pocket a full salary for a position he assumed mid yr? This should scream conflict of interest. @ON_Integrity

In 2014 we had to work the year to earn a yr's salary. At some point the fuckery has got to stop.
Dr.Moore is in it for the money folks. I hate to break it to ya, but thats the sad reality.

1/ "They're not letting the black girl go." This video captures a disturbing scene at a railway station in Ukraine as a young woman is prevented from boarding an evacuation train. @LHReports investigates this case & others
2/ The video appears to be a case of racial discrimination & taking place at Lviv station 🇺🇦
Captions on some versions of this video say that a white girl was let on but this isn't clearly shown in the video

3/ In an Instagram post from foreigners in Ukraine discussing the video someone who claims to be a friend of the woman pictured says the woman was hurt in the incident but ultimately able to board an evacuation train.

When Taliban forces invaded Afghanistan, US Air Force plane carried Americans.
We understood that Afghan citizens were not American responsibility.
Now, Africans: Ukraine must use 'first come, first serve', leaving Ukrainians behind in train stations. 😳

You expect Ukrainians to stand in their own stations, built with their forefathers' sweat and blood, while you take the trains to Poland? Just because you got there first?
This is what you call 'racism'?
Dead the 'victim' agenda pls.
It's embarrassing.

Africans, you are not Ukraine's responsibility.
Nobody owes you ANYTHING.
Get your country to evacuate you from the war zone.
PS: Poland not allowing African refugees in - that's racism.

El imperialismo necesita del racismo y de la construcción del otro para justificar su misión civilizatoria.
Lo más llamativo del relato mediático de estos días no es lo que nos dice de #UcraniaRusia, sino la visión suprematista respecto a las demás guerras imperialistas.

"Este no es un lugar, con todo el respecto, como Irak o Afganistan [...] sino que estos son relativamente civilizados, europeos"
"Estas son personas prósperas de clase media... no son refugiados que obviámente se escapan del Medio Oriente".
Watch how they are threatening to shoot us!
We are currently at the Ukraine -Poland border.
Their Police and Army refused to let Africans cross they only allow Ukrainian.
Some have slept here for 2 days under this scorching cold weather, while many have gone back to Lviv.
