African refugees stuck in limbo: “Not fair”
They had sold everything and were ready to start a new life in the US. But the night before their departure, Pacito, his wife and their baby were sitting in a parking lot in Nairobi, Kenya, with nowhere to go. The flight had been canceled at short notice after President Donald Trump suspended the US refugee program, reports the BBC.
“It’s not fair,” says Pacito.
“We are 120,000 refugees who have done everything right, waited for years, but now others are being allowed in after just three months.”
He is referring to the fact that white South Africans are given priority after Trump’s decision in February. The first 59 of them landed in Washington DC in May.
