Nigerian medical student Oduola Adebowale said he and some friends were trying to get on a train to flee Ukraine when the soldiers pointed guns at them and ordered them back.

The Ukrainian troops told him they were only letting pregnant woman on the service from the city of Lviv to the Polish border, but he said he saw them stop some pregnant African women from getting on board.

Reuters could not independently verify the accounts of Asian and African students being pulled off trains, held up at borders and pushed to the back of long lines. Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, said on Wednesday authorities had sent up a hotline for African and Asian students looking for help in getting out. “We are working intensively to ensure their safety & speed up their passage,” he tweeted.Adebowale did finally manage to get away, after waiting for hours for a train at Lviv then getting permission to travel to Romania.

Blacks support Russian rather.

He could have pointed that soldier to the direction of Russian soldiers, he wanted to feel like soldier at unarmed civilians.

Why must SA an African country support Ukraine

Unlike South Africans who wants foreigners out of their country, whites no the importance of black people's presence in All situations

CdeNMaswerasei Why are African leaders quiet about this? Why not as AU put out a strongly worded statement condemning this? What's is wrong with us?

Africans must ALLWAYS know that racisim is alive even though they we are quick to forget because of our black minds and skin we forget quickly and luck their backs like what we see in our African brothers who are Xenophobic to some Africans

When are we going to build better universities in Africa where overseas students will also come and study ? Our African governments should stop corruption and build Africa to be in a better position to stand on its own .

Why are you not reporting about South African students we are not interested about Nigerian students this is South Africa this is not Nigeria

Ukraine soldiers... Say it... Ukraine soldiers

The reason why African countries must never involve themselves in this fight. Let them destroy each other, in south africa if you are white automatically you are a citizen

When are you reporting on the Pfizer data?

They think that they are on vacation, they want a 5 star treatment whilst Ukrainians are dying and they are busy playing a race card. What's wrong with their oil rich country, can't they study in their home country.
