Uproar over treatment of Africans fleeing conflict in Ukraine – Kenyan Business Feed

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia

There’s ongoing anger over the mistreatment of Africans fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.

Africans from all over the continent have brought sharp focus on the African Union to speak against what they term as racist evacuations in Ukraine that leave Africans behind.

Social media, especially Twitter, was abuzz with videos and posts that expressed shock at the discrimination Africans were facing while trying to enter neighbouring European Countries.

The Russia- Ukraine conflict has so far made life in the former USSR countries unbearable for the people of color.

Here are some other posts for your to sample:

Nigeria government says Nigerians and citizens of other African countries fleeing Ukraine should be treated with dignity and without favour.
Says all who flee conflict situation have the same right to safe passage under UN Convention.
