This morning outside the Nigerian Consulate, a mother with her 4 year old daughter have been camping outside here, in hope that the next flight out will include her & her daughter. She says she is waiting & has no where to go.She has to get onto the flight. #Nigerians #Xenophobia
She says she has no money to pay for more rent, and doesn’t have a place to go. The Consulate told this lady that the next flight out is only tomorrow. She doesn’t where to go. #eNCA #Xenophobia #Nigerians
Many people slept here. On the floor. One man told me there are more women and children here who slept out in the cold. There is tension between the Nigerians and the consulate I am told as there is no clear communication. #eNCA #Nigerians #xenophobia
