@@GeorgeFafa why do Africa need help from these countries?? Africa has the resources and agriculture to produce for themselves instead of of countries stealing from what they have. Knowledge is power but dependent on another country is not self sustaining
@@ybuckw248 I mean, just yesterday the news dropped about huge gold reservoirs having been found in Nigeria, and guess what? The Chinese will dig it out. So either Nigeria doesn't have the equipment nor knowledge to farm gold, or their leaders are corrupt and sell the rights to foreigners for a quick cash grab. Or both.
@@ybuckw248 Never said NEED the help. But need some help they do. In lots of areas, not every country can do agriculture. especially in Africa. Resources are elsewhere also but to get to them, technology is needed. It is very, but very hard to not cooperate with anyone these times. The point being with China and Russia, they wont be such assholes as the west.
The remedy to this problem is for the so-called African leaders to stop the damn corruption and pay attention to developing their countries and providing the basic needs for their people.
@D Fraser Everywhere was corruption you can’t escape it and Africa is a continent you can’t just donate to it you donate to individual countries.Plus it’s not the peoples fault that their government is like that they just have less means to stop it than people in Europe etc
This is why Africa should be rebuilt, re-energised, revamped and secured so we as tenants in those countries won't have to be thrown out or caught in the fire every time the landlord and his wife quarrel.
The problem is most of Africa is being economically raped by its former colonial masters. Ukraine is supports the colonial rapist. Russia has help African liberation movements. Africans in Ukraine should be undercover agents for Russia.
Even in the darkest hour, some White people still discriminate based on skin color. As the reporter said, "You are fighting a war and you have time for racism" Why? This is terrible and I cannot fathom it.
I know Becky Adong (and her family). We arrived in Kharkov, Ukraine in the same year. Am grateful to God that I left in 2010. I know the Ojimadu family as well. Am glad to know that they are safe. I pray that God protects His people.
I am a Black American, I was living in Kharkiv Ukraine when the war began, the bus driver near the polish border had me and 2 Africans on the bus hide from the Ukrainian military at different checkpoints….
That is a crying shame right there...he had to hide you all to keep those Caucasians from pulling you all off, but they be claiming Christianity (it is full of paganism) and be so called trying to have all our Hebrew bloodline to do the same.

This is a wake up call for Africans to ask their government for accountability so that there would never be any reason for Africans to leave Africa for greener pastures elsewhere
I was pushing these horror stories to friends and family in the United States. I'm glad to see that you have put it all together here. The other side of my anger is with the African embassies. Where were they? How could they abandon their citizens like that?
Your ignorance is very scary. Ukraine urged them to stay and assured their embassies it was ok up until the invasion. It's also very difficult to evacuate citizens in warzones when one side is a white supremacist nation.
My brother, i can understand that situation but i cant understand how some can sell their soul for riches...for many, the desire to feel luke somebody they will sell everything. I look at many of my people here in the U.S., how to become a star or famous you will have to boot lick and 💋 butt to get certain positions and ro hold them. Many of them are joining these secret societies in order to go up the ladder, but this opens the door way for them to serve Satan unaware until it is made known. Everything that gliters isnt gold!!!
lmao is that the first thing that you think about why the embassy wont send help REALLY ??? is that really why your angry ?? if they wanted to leave shouldnt they leave. stop making these excuses for yourself. where is your europe why did they leave ukraine to their destiny dont they have a treaty to help the ukrainers from russian invasion in trade of their nucleir weapons ???
We need to take accountability. That Ugandan couple had babies in Ukraine and speak perfect languages for Russia and Ukraine. Am Ugandan myself, I have lived in the US for years, same situation. My kids haven't been to Uganda yet. Guess what, I made a choice where I settled due to different reasons. When the 🇺🇸 gets attacked, am not going online to cry to go back to Uganda. Am fighting for I made my choices of where to live.

If a country goes through a disaster, their first priority is their citizens we all know that. Plus there were warnings of war for months before all this. They had time to escape this tho. It was all over the news, the US telling its citizens to evacuate. If they didn't want to fight, why did they stay there?

They enjoyed free tuition, and had no issues with discrimination but come time to let women and children of the country leave, they all of a sudden feel discrimination? They bailed so fast that they left their coats, pathetic! Perhaps it's that same entitled mentality that they have some priority over citizens because they're black and owe nothing to Ukraine. And those sad excuses who lived in Ukraine for YEARS but ran out saying NOT OUR WAR, because they are of different color all of a sudden they're just visiting or something. And NO, Polish govt under no obligation to take them in, even though they DID. THESE cowards say they want peace but Somalia, Rwanda, Tigray are committing genocide of their own people and nothing is being done... They just want peace wherever they drift to, they do absolutely nothing to deserve it. Ukraine has to fight to get their peace, these cowards run and complain because people aren't jumping for joy to have them over... They deserve the treatment they got!!!!
Don’t worry we going to remember this I hope they safe that’s the only thing I can say but I do not want them back in my country a lot of them was for free and everything for free now we are bad people we need positive energy we don’t need this nonsense they wanted to another country to take them and they didn’t even want to go back to that ain’t country and that’s the truth but now they want to play this race car Ukraine is the only country that take all type of people when they become refugees we get them food we get them home we give them everything the whole you’re a reject those people Polon do not take no refugees from Africa nor those places from the Middle East also we take everybody now we race
I also hope those who remain can also use whatever knowledge or skills they have at hand to help in the war effort as best they can. If you can’t get out, then try and use what you can to aid others or fight.
If they were smart they would go to Russia they would be safe there a lot of people don't know this but there are dark Russians there's even a black Russian that is the mayor of a town in Russia

@@karenlang4776 For the same reasons that Asians, Arabs and Africans go study, etc in various Western countries that end up showing their racist streaks.

If I used your reasoning, Nazi Germany couldn't have hated Jews if there were any non-German Jews who visited there.
I wouldn't want a coward next to me in a fight! Many were cowards fleeing conflicts back home. They were happy to take the generosity of Ukraine, but when it was time to pay the debt for that generosity, they are cowards now. If it was so awful living there, why choose NOW to leave?
@@462-x5n You're just viewing it from one perspective as not everyone can fight and I wouldn't be surprised if you have the forceful expectation that more than 25% of the inmigrants SHOULD join the war effort just to satisfy a bit that unrealistic expectation people, that think like you, have concerning this type of scenarios. Unfortunately, to some extent you're correct, only to take it to a completely apathetic, disingenuous and obtuse stance, by "changing" the order of things, because if you're really cognizant on what really lies underneath both sides' interactions you would know that even if 25% of the african inmigrants would have joined the war effort, those inhuman people that denied them the train, would have done so again, so if you were the inmigrant, how would you proceed??? Fight for people that didn't show any regard for your family and kin or in this case, leave? Basically there's no incentive for them to fight, only regret if they do. Setting this in a hypothetical analogy, if I save your life, a total stranger to me, but something really bad happens in my life and then I seek you out to PUSH you into risking your life for my own sake, would you do it?! At the very least, you would ask yourself, what was my whole point in saving your life only to place it in jeopardy again, right? There's more nuance to this situation than what I wrote, and even more than what you wrote; it's so easy to comment and especially criticize like you did.
Yes, there's an undeniable debt, but one that shouldn't be pushed against someone's will, otherwise that debt takes a different meaning, unless of course you deem their lives in lower value by default for ulterior motives, ungrounded and sickening reasons they might be.
They keep saying it's not there country not there war. Also they are upset they are not being treated like first class with the vulnerable women and children. I'm sure it's not all but every African man I have met has violated my boundaries. They do female genital mutalation and then head over here with a penchant for degrading white women.
@The Lost One It is illegal for nationals of most countries to fight for a foreign nation. In fact you can be jailed for treason and stripped off your nationality. And fighting for another country is one of the few sections which allows for stripping nationality worldwide. This was the law used by Western countries to strip ISIS volunteers. Though the problem there was, when you strip someone, you were automatically accepting that ISIS had a nation. Also, there were many foreign volunteers in the beginning of the war. But the Ukrainians rejected anyone who was not White assuming they were there for the citizenship. The truth could not be farther since most such people normally volunteer in the French or the US military and did not really have to choose Ukraine. Coupled with loss of nationality, it is simply not possible for a foreigner to fight for Ukraine. From the looks of it, Ukrainian society much like Polish one is quite racist and is accepted as normal by the government. We have racism in India to a minor extent, but the state accepts no racism of any form.
@The Lost One THANK YOU!!! Freedom isn't free! It was bought and paid for in blood. You can't enjoy the lifestyle of the West (which they are still doing) and refuse to stand up and defend it. The EU countries are too good to expel them, but that is exactly what I would do. You've shown yourselves to not be deserving of our compassion. Go home! (BTW, I am a BLACK FEMALE from a military family.)
"not our war"... yes exactly, this should be the same sentence our navy should say to all your immigrants from Nigeria that illegally enter in our countries every day, considering that you are not escaping from any war. Poland did well to not accept them inside. "Never protect someone that won't protect you if you are in danger". this is the clear example.
They said they are students incase you missed out on that! So do you expect them to join the military with those racist Ukrainians who would push them behind the queue? You are just displaying your racism here!

@One Jobless Man Well these caucasian ukrainians that have escaped to the U.S. should have stayed in their own country and fought and not be cowards and run from their own fight. I noticed Biden-Harris weren't opening any doors for the African non-citizens in ukrain that were under attack.
If you're in Ukraine as a citizen -- regardless of race, you should serve if that's what the government wants from you. If you're upset with that, should've stayed where you were.
Hell no, Africans are the minority in Ukraine and are subjected to racism wherever they go. Why the hell would they want to help the country when the country wouldnt spit on you if you was on fire? They wanted the country for themselves so they can fight for it by themselves.
@@DboyRed That's completely regardless, you're talking about the social ramifications if their existence in Ukraine when it comes down to what they received via the Ukrainian government's aid. They were assisted and helped and now is their time to give back if they have been there for enough time to become a citizen. If you believe just because you encountered racism a few times in your country you no longer should be drafted then reality is gonna smack you in the mouth.
This is the time for African to learn and appreciate their home the way it is..That woman is saying her kids doesn't know their native land that's very ashaming
She made a good living in Ukraine but didn’t want her husband to fight or help protect it . 😢 very upsetting ,… is she African or Ukrainian ?

Take your children to visit and see the culture where they are from … but they are not “ African “ Does anyone understand what it means to be a citizen of a country ? 😢😢 my parents immigrated to 🇺🇸 legally and this “ not my war “ talk from people that did well there in Ukraine literally RIPS out my insides 😭😭. I worked with SO many American Servicemen that immigrated by serving our nation ,,, or immigrated and then served 💪💪🇺🇸. I Want to scream 😭😭😡 At the attitude of these “victims “
Jet V. I’m replying from the Uk. I’m with you on this one. People here are receiving Ukrainian refugees into their homes, direct from Ukrainian war zones after 70 DAYS of war. These Ukrainian citizens arriving in UK as I write, are females and kids ONLY, who have only now in the last few days managed to escape out of Ukraine. Here in the Uk, there is a lot of respect and admiration, for the Ukrainian nation based primarily on the fact that they are fighting back against the aggression of Russia and NOT running away. I too am saddened to hear so many comments on this video of “Not our fight” , general ‘woe is me’ comments, etc. These Africans presumably choose to live in and amongst the general population of Ukraine, but the evidence from this video is that they are completely uncommitted citizens. The interviewee near the start stated that the border guards where treating “EVERYBODY THE SAME”. In other words, the guards treated everybody badly. Maybe understandably given the general chaos of the moment. So, how has this become a story about race? The BBC should do a follow up article on volunteers from Ukraines African population who have joined the fight to save Ukrainian civilisation. I for one would happily respect and admire these individuals. From the evidence of this video I wouldn’t expect a follow up article any time soon. Ukraine is better off without some of the loathsome characters in this report.
@@jetv1471 but do you know how they will be treated if caught by Russians...Please dont judge Africans.If Europeans are still buying gas from Russia,in away funding the war,why should African sons die in Ukraine? Africa has alot of problems
It is a shame that the ambassador to South African just denied the issue rather that saying that they were trying to find solutions. The only genuine thing she said was that everyone was fighting to get out. Indian students also had the same problem. Do we know if anyone at the border died of the cold? A UK newspaper reported eyewitness accounts of people collapsed and vomiting at the side of the road who weren't properly dressed for the weather as they had fled so quickly.
@@SithembisoNokula ridiculous. No one is blaming south africa. Actually its people like you who make south africa look bad. Learn to read before commenting. The Ukrainian ambassador RSA is not south african so why do you assume she is blaming south africa?
You know what; there’s a line of ukrainian women and children and a line of foreigners, mainly men. They give priority to the ukrainian women and children. Is that fair? No. But don’t make it biggen than it is. That’s what the ambassador ment.
@@JeroenBIG Same treatment was given to females, there was no distinction. A Moroccan student mentions treatment like not being able to go to the gas station to buy tea or use the bathroom, just kept in the non-white group. If you are a non- Ukrainian woman you don't count. There is a video of a black woman with a baby not being allowed on a train and being forced off for a childless individual. It's a problem in a society where non-whites stick out. If something happened in London where I am, people might divide into their groups but you wouldn't be able to hold one group of women back as the society is multi-ethnic.
"second class citizens" dude they arent citizens, they are exchange students. they dont have citizenship. btw i agree they have no reason to fight for ukraine, they are exchange students they are there to learn, not fight. but you cant be treated as a second class citizen if you arent a citizen in the fist place. my question is more of how much did african governments do to get their people out. if they have an exchange program youd think theyd have consular services that knew where their people are, can contact them and help them find a way out of the country.
You didn't see the men that have been there 40 years, 17 years? Why didn't they offer to fight like all Ukrainians men were required to do? At the first threat, all the sudden it's not their country, not their war. Some would call that traitors.
@@joehalliday6081 should have given them citizenship if they are there 17-40 years. if they arent citizens, its not their fight, no matter how long they have been there. if they have citizenship, but still try to run, they are traitors, i agree. looking at it, one big problem is that you need to renounce your other citizenships to get ukrainian citizenship, you cant have dual citizenship, that probably stopped many from getting full ukrainian citizenship, instead going for residency or equivalents. you dont loose your ukrainian citizenship when you get an other passport, but you need to renounce your other citizenships when you get the ukrainian passport.
Right before the invasion on the 24th Feb, many governments asked their citizens to leave Ukraine, as the invasion was imminent. Why didn't the African governments do the same? It was the right thing to do to prevent such issues. Above anything, It is the obligation of our home government to protect us, to warn us when we are in danger zones and to take us home if that's the case.
@@leavemeal0ne378 Everybody else left weeks before the conflict started, apart from African and Indian students. It seems sometimes they can't think for themselves. And don't say it was racism at the border, at that point the border was open as normal.

Ukrainians are fleeting too. What this video is about. Ukrainians abroad refusing to come back. They had to kidnap old men and women on the street. So if the *y*t*e criminal, oligarchs, fascists can leave, and the average immigrant citizen (as they have several from war torn EU countries), they should be able to leave to.
I'm so pleased to hear that almost every African managed to get out. And I'm praying for safety for any of those who were left behind. My biggest disappointment is in the African governments who left they people behind. May God have mercy on us all
Oh komrad, I bet you are pleased . Question is ,,why go there in the first place ? Eastern Europe never took slaves ,so why leech off their society? England,Spain ,France and southern US would be the logical guilt trippin places .
Thank you for letting us know almost all of the Africans have managed to safely evacuate and have hopefully made it to their homes and families. It is incredible so many millions of people evacuated so quickly, and safely. I think the number of fatalities which resulted from the evacuation are low, and those are the result of the interruption of medical care for elderly and ill people during the evacuation. Even cancer patients were evacuated and quickly were able to resume medical treatment. During such a challenging event, it is easy for us to think we are the only one suffering, and to not realize how many people are living on the edge of death due to their pre-existing medical situation and their suffering greatly exceeds our own inconvenience.
@@VagoniusThicket well I agree to a certain extent. But these people if you looked didn't go there to leech off anything. They simply was going to school to further their education and better their circumstances. But let me ask you this why are those other people running to America why come here to leech off us. Why not stay and fight for your home. That's cruel to say right. So what you just said is cruel to say leech. They simply went to better themselves
Many students wanted to get out of Ukraine, but not go back to Africa. Not all, but many. This was a document problem too, because they only had visa's for study in Ukraine.
The "African Govt"? You're aware Africa is made up of over 50 countries, right? Keep in mind that govts like Nigeria actually made necessary arrangements and actually had envoys stationed at the Polish border to get Nigerians out.
So yes to the money, yes to demand citizenship, yes to the good food, yes to government help... but not our war... ill consider that next time an african says he wants to be integrated into society... we should just stop paying taxes, look them in the streets homeless without food or clothes and say "not our problem"

Racism or discrimination is Putin's Russian propaganda for "under-belt" strike.

Definitely understand non native Ukrainians not wanting to fight for Ukraine (as a non native Ukrainian and non citizen I would try to leave too). But you can’t blame the Ukrainian government prioritizing and rewarding the ones who did fight over the ones who didn’t after the peace is won.
I absolutely agree with you, the Africans in this video shouldn’t have to fight for Ukraine. But once the peace is won and the west helps Ukraine rebuild, the best opportunities will in part go to those who did fight. At that point, if those Africans choose to come back. They shouldn’t be complaining (along with the other Ukrainians who fled) about being second choice. And no women (without choice) and children should ever have to fight
@@GH-xy4zz That's a ludicrous notion you gave about the 'best opportunities to those that stayed to fight' in Ukraine after the War! Ukraine will likely be happy to get any help, any specialists, any manual labourers from any country! No one will look down on the Foreign Students that left during the invasion! And, when Ukraine starts inviting the Foreign Students again, this will bite the Ukrainean Universities, because they will likely face resistance! The potential students will remember how their predesessors were treated when a crisis occurred! That even their women and children were refused passage based on their skin color! It's a shame that Ukraine will have to acknowledge and apologize for, and promise to implement better policies for in the future!
@@lenitaa7938 what makes you think you cant bring your women and children as an exchange student? if your illegally there and have no papers youll get in trouble anytime your passport is controlled. thats just a danger you expose yourself to when you decide to immigrate illegally. the african governments should have done more, exchange students and recent immigrants should be known to consular services. they should have organized an evacuation of all their people known to them. (and im sure most did) the problem is as an illegal immigrant you arent known to the government, both your own and the host countries. just one of the many dangers of being an illegal immigrant. you are right when it comes to legal immigrants/ citizens being discriminated against, based on their skin tone, thats disgusting and i hope those responsible will be prosecuted once ukraine and the rest of the world has time to reflect on all that happened during the war. i dont think its "a ukrainian crime", more so racist individuals abusing the chaos to live out their power fantasy. i dont think this was a ukranian policy in any way, ukrainans shouldnt feel ashamed because of this, i hope they are more so angry at the people that brought them disrepute and the ukranian government isnt responsible, beyond bringing the perpetrators to justice, for this.
As an African I understand why Africans will take offense to the racism. But for the people who moved to Ukraine for a better life and lived 10+ years it may sound ignorant to say "not my war" but before the war you saw yourself as a Ukrainian citizen and enjoyed the benefits. The students have an excuse cus they only came to study, but African Ukrainian citizens should not make themselves look ungrateful. F*ck the racist Ukrainians! but let's not insult the country itself, this situation could've happened anywhere
Ukraine never gives citizenship to african ,Ukrainians are racist to africans ,living in .Ukraine does not make them Ukrainians, shut up if you have nothing better to say
This would be true for most countries, yet the reason Ukraine is this racist today is because of their history. Look at Stepan Bandera, the National Hero of Ukraine. He was the founder of the UPA and main perpetrator of the Genocide in Volhynia against the Poles. The Ukrainian Government has always wanted Ukraine for the Ukrainians. And today some previously Polish territory now belongs to the Ukrainians and no apology has ever been given to the Poles. If they're that mean to Poles, I can only imagine how they are to black people.
I am Ukrainian and to tell the truth it is really painfull what I am hearing from these African people. My country was welcome to give them an opportunity to study, but the hard time started for Ukrainians and a lot of Ukrainian have been killed I can hear these bad words about my country instead of a drop of empathy to Ukrainian people. I was evacuated together with African students and there was no difference between me and them. We tried to support each other. Ukrainians don't have any difference to the colour of person, but Ukrainians can directly correct you if you do something wrong. Fo example, in the line there should be elderly people and mothers with kids first, no matter what nationality you are, first to help are kids with mothers and elderly people, it's our Ukrainian mentality. No matter what colour of your skin if you are a man, you must let kids with mothers and elderly people be save first. It's Ukrainian mentality, it's not to be choosy towards different nationalities. On Ukrainian land all nationalities are equal of front of this rule. Ukrainian men or women without children even can't emagine to save themselves first, it's out of our mentality. The first on the list the weakest ages are like kids with mothers and elderly people.
Ukrainians discriminated against Indians and Africans and you're making this about you. Of course as an individual you might not be racist and discriminatory but you can't invalidate these people's experiences and what they went through all because you you or the people you know don't think like that. Many non white people have been complaining about the racism they face in Ukraine for years it's not like this is the first time this issue is being brought up. I have so much empathy for people who are going through war and considering Ukraine's history with Russia this war is a terrible one but I cannot at the same time act like I'm not hurt by the racism Africans faced during the war in Ukraine. I'm so sorry but you need to realise that you can't treat people like sh*t and then expect them to you.
Yeah. Why did Putin do this you know? He's being a bully and a a**hole. I don't understand why he's being such a d*ck! Like the dude needs to listen to the world and know what he's doing is so wrong. Wtf. It's sad. Needs to be over. Ukraine needs there country back.

I was lucky. I left Kyiv with my family on February 24, got to the border on the morning of February 25, and crossed the border to Poland on the evening of February 26. I was lucky because I crossed the border in my own car. But I did witness this horror at the border and even had an interview with a South African station TV about it. I almost cried every time a black person asked if I could help them cross the border and I had to tell them I didn't have any more space in my car. I did manage to squeeze a skinny Pakistani student in between my kids' car seats, helping him all the way to Warsaw as he made his way to the Pakistani embassy.
Seun Tegbe, you weren't lucky, you were smart to get out. Fortunately you had a car, so your journey was more comfortable than most everyone else's journey. It was kind of you to help the Pakistani student, and he was smart to go to the Pakastani embassy. You understand why you couldn't help more people, you would never leave your own child behind while you took a stranger into your car. It is a heartbreaking choice, but a clear choice. You were lucky because you didn't encounter violent people who pushed you and your children out of your car so they could get in. There were adult men who were doing that very thing to Ukrainian women with small children at the train stations. Perhaps they didn't understand when the Ukrainian train conductors explained in Ukrainian, these trains were devoted to evacuate Ukrainian women and children, particularly the families of Ukrainian soldiers. There was a concern Russian-paid operatives were already in Ukraine who would attack the families of Ukrainian soldiers. This is also one of the reasons for extra-tight border controls during this war. I don't know if you are a citizen of Ukraine or another country, but wherever you are, I'm glad you were able to escape and take your family to safety. So many Ukrainian women are trying to support their children in a foreign land, while their husbands and fathers are fighting and dying, and their country is being destroyed. Their pain is incredible, and yet I seldom see them complaining or whining. This is how they have won the hearts of the Polish people.
@@cherylk.2474 I stayed in Poland for 10 days with my family. I am a permanent resident, wife and kids are Ukrianian citizens. I wouldn't have gotten out as a man in his thirties if I was a citizen. Weirdly enough, I only submitted my application for citizenship months earlier and was supposed to pick up a supporting police report for that application on the morning of February 24. Needless to say, that plan didn't work out. While in Poland, we were hosted by the kindest family in a village called Kack near Warsaw. In Poland, then Germany, and now in Canada, I did meet (and continue to meet) a lot of women with children trying to navigate this new life, some without knowing any English or even having recent job experiences. It is not uncommon for women to be homemakers in Ukraine (my wife is), which in itself is more than a full-time job only it is unpaid. All of a sudden, these women have to navigate the labor market in a new country using a new language. I can't imagine the level of strength that requires.
@@SeunLight517 Seun, thank you for being so kind to understand and appreciate the terrible stress these Ukrainian women are experiencing. You and your family are also under a horrid amount of stress and I'm glad you made your way to Canada. Life as a homemaker is unfortunately greatly disparaged in the west, but having grown up in a home with a mother who was a full-time homemaker and a Polish father who was a professional, self-employed man, I know I was among the fortunate children in the world. We didn't buy all the new clothes, or toys, or stuff, but we laughed a lot in our happy home, and I have wonderful memories and loving sisters. Today, families seem to be under so much pressure. I have a niece who is able to work from home, and this reduces so much stress for their family. You sound like an intelligent, responsible and loving man, and you will be an asset to whichever country in which you choose to build your life, as well as a good father and husband. I wish you good fortune and a very happy future.
If I live for 17 years in a country and built my life there I will fight to protect that life regardless of the color of my skin and I will expect to be treated as a brother in arms.

But no, he wants out, not his war. He should leave quickly and never go back because he has not earned Ukrainian citizenship, and does not deserve it.

Yes, but I think that it's a different type of racism in countries without a lot of minorities. If something happened in London, of course people might group together along different lines (Italians going to Italy might reach out to others) but you wouldn't have certain groups being blatantly prevented from leavingvin the same way.
@@lucyturnill450 These are illegal migrants that a few months ago at the Belarus border trying to get into western Europe illegal and in Africa Africans are racist towards each other and to ward's other races.
@@fionasmith6868 Yes, there is racism in every country in the world or intolerance of religious differences and many multi-ethnic countries are more tolerant despite their own problems. There is no pure perfect country. The iNone of the people in this video are illegal immigrants. Ukraine's detention centres haven't been ivacuated even though there are no bomb shelters in them. Under UN rules, anyone can flee a war zone, their status doesn't matter. The reason there is a discussion about this is that there are 80,000 international students in the Ukraine, mostly from Africa, India or the middle east who have phones so they can livestream or tiktok their experiences at the border. Some of them are Western citizens. A CNN reporter documented the escape of his sister who had been adopted from Sierra Leone. After a harrowing journey collapsed from cold and dehydration after being held back at the border in a 'black queue' and had to be taken to hospital, so the American Embassy got involved as she is a US citizen.
@@fionasmith6868 Really, read the comment from the guy who was told that he would have his residence permit revoked and fined if he didn't attend classes as Ukrainians didn't think the war would happen. The president didn't believe it until a few days beforehand. Why are you blaming people for ill treatment because they refused to leave? Why about Ukrainians who were slow to go? Are all the people in Mariupol to blame for their own deaths if they didn't get out before the bombing?
This is why i feel emotionally detached from this war. The reports of the unjust treatment of young students, women and children simply because they are black is annoying! Their economy is better for the number of Africans who go to school there as well as the African professionals who ply their trade there! Meanwhile, The Ukrainian ambassador to South Africa was so ready to shoot down people's experiences as "absolute nonsense"! A classic case of gaslighting. Africans have always had the "short end of the stick" in world history and our misfortune of having bad leadership hasn't helped. One day, we will get it right! Thank God for reports like this one! Thank you P.Okwoche.
@@jcoker423 Why? Those students do not owe Ukraine, nothing. They paid to get to study in Ukraine! They weren't given free education. As per the professionals, it should be a matter of choice for anyone of them; certainly, not mandatory! If Ukraine needed or still needs their expertise, then they should be asked nicely and treated with respect! I can tell you for free that if the shoe had been on the other foot, no Ukrainian would feel obliged to stay back and help. Infact they'd most likely be evacuated faster than we could say, "Jack Sparrow" and what's more........the war would never get the kind of coverage it is getting now! You can take this to the bank!
@@jacquelineadebija OK, so as soon as they get to Poland, it's a flight back to their homelands. Why do they seem to feel entitled to stay in Europe. Contract with Ukr's. Contract ended. Back hom
@@jcoker423 Except the contract wasn't formally terminated! Have you thought about how those students are going to go about resuming studies? They do not even have the benefit of transcripts so they can transfer credits.......after all the money expended on getting an education. Besides, the european curriculum will most likely not be the same with other parts of world where they could complete their studies in peace. The obvious & next best thing to do would be to complete their studies somewhere closeby. Somewhere where the curriculum wouldn't be so different. If after studies, that country doesn't think they need them as the professionals they've become......🤷♀️ ....then, by all means, ask them to leave; respectfully and with human dignity accorded them. They'll take their skills where its needed. Trust me, there'll always be somewhere else where their expertise will be needed. That's how it's been from the beginning of time.......and that's how it will always be. Man was made to migrate. This is why, those who haven't had the benefit of travelling and mixing with other cultures end up being narrow minded and uneducated; in so many ways. P.S There's no argument, bad leadership in Africa has maimed and or crippled many aspects of our lives (education being one of them) but Africa does not have the monopoly of this type of leadership, either. Many so called "developed" nations would be described otherwise where it not for African students and professionals who have made those places, "home".
Same story from native Ukrainan mothers with small children in the first days of the invasion. Desperate people walking, standing for 10 hours in the snow to cross the border. The first week was total panic when hundred thousands was escaping bombs. Ukraina was invaded in 2014. It was never safe in the first place. Hope all Africans got safe home. 5 million Ukrainans are homeless in Europe now. Hope they find a home also.
Did you miss the part where the black woman was told “only Ukrainians, if you are black you walk”? I guess even during war, there’s always time for a little racism.
@John Ashley by this reasoning, “WHITES FIRST” on the bus first and”BLACKS LAST” are last priority, which is fair since it’s your country. I prefer you just state it here like you did, so that everyone knows, unlike your ambassador to South Africa. What I can’t stand is lying/pretending as if there’s no discrimination. Thanks for being honest.
@@kush4286 I can’t understand you people. I also am a foreigner in another European country, but now after living there for years, I consider this country my home, so if anyone would invade this country I would not be screaming “this is not my war” because I don’t look like the locals and because my passport says so. I would feel like I am also being invaded.
I agree with the Africans not there war,when war is in Africa the foriengers flee I have never seen them fight for any Africans, so this double standard nonsense I am not buying it.
@peristera mpazo the problem was not just the men. The African, Arab and all other brown women and children were refused and blocked and treated in humanely in a war. Its a bloody war and u sick bastards have time to think and consider about a baby's colour to take him to safety
@D Fraser this so called civilised world was busy being racist during a war whilst crying about Russians. Women elderly and children were denied and put in harms way due to the colour of their skin. So please pipe down with claims of civilised as 1 it is not exclusively western and 2 it is a mere facade that dissappears when it is inconvenient
@D Fraser Please tell me what could possibly be civilised about WW1 and WW2? What could possibly be civilised about conquering the world and raping, killing and stealing people's land? Nazis killing well over 6 million Jews; Women and children included. There is nothing civilised about the west!
What if there is a limited number of places and somebody have to wait? We shouldn't prioritise women and children and those who risk more? Maybe we shouldn't, maybe we should leave the nature to decide... the strongest enter the train and the weakest remain there to wait like the primitives.
unfortunately, they can't/don't want to. the politicians here just want to eat all the taxpayers' money. Their children go to school abroad, they also rarely seek healthcare locally
You have no technology you depend on us in the West! But Africans did discover gravity. The village chief threw a spear in the air and watched it come down 😂 He said afterwards GRAVITY!!
This is sad for those trapped in the war zones. For those able to escape, the African communities in the frontlines states like Poland and Hungary can assist where they can. It is a disappointment that neither the African Union nor individual African countries have not done anything to reach the Africans affected and assist with their evaluation. The AU needs to set up a protocol it will follow in future for helping Africans in foreign lands whenever wars break out.
Many individuals from Africa and Asia have migrated to Western countries in the two years since the war began. They continue to avoid paying for accommodation, falsely claiming to be Ukrainian refugees when they are not, simply exploiting the legal system to reside here. It's frustrating to witness this deception and abuse of the system. I detest how effortlessly people can deceive and take advantage. It's disheartening that Europe has become a haven for those unwilling to work, while I struggle to afford basic necessities. I'm fed up with this situation. I want them being forced to go back where they came from before they did come to Ukraine.
But you are not living there and making 💶. Some immigrants are just treating host countries like a whore and they are the pimps ! Das kannst du verstehen ,,nicht ?
The word around town was a lot of the African embassie left their citizens to fend for themselves in Ukraine. And it was the Polish ppl, who came to the boarder of Poland and Ukraine, that paid for the Africans flight back home.
A doctor talks about his love of Ukraine and then describes fleeing Kiev when the shelling gets a bit hot. Should he not have stayed and helped the wounded in the country he loves? No, he just runs away and then feels hard down by that Ukrainian women and children were allowed run away faster than him.
Great documentary, stories has to be told, no doubt about that. But you never mention the fact that these people have been left behind by their own officials. That's horrible to know that officials from your country, your own brothers won't help you even in war time.
We know that 90% of Europeans in Europe hate Black people, you can pretend all you want. You ain't seen nothing yet. We are just waiting for Russia and China to get started with you, then we Africans will give you the final blow, Economic strangulation will do you just fine. We are not cowards, we know our friends and foes. Do you know yours?
I can understand if you are just a student , and are there to get an education , but if you live there for a number of years ,worked and paid taxes , rented or owned and have citizenship . Then it is your home ,and then its your fight as well . If you do not feel this way ,then maybe you should of stayed in your own country , and helped make it better .
"this is not our war" then you shouldn't be there in the first place. Want all the benfits of living in Europe but as soon as shit hits the fan they want to be the first to leave.
Black Africa needs to fix itself. Colonial constructs like Nigeria, Congo, etc that have ensured the true potential of their citizens never get realised need to break up, and true ethnically homogenous nations should take their place. Such re-alignments are what got Europe on its path to development. We can't develop if we are constantly in conflict with one another. And we need to develop in order to keep our best within our fold and away from the other races of the world, who hate us for no real reason.
True word's 👍✔I agree those people has two faces, they 're racist 🙄every where they go racism goes with them, they must treat people 🙄😉the way they wanted to be treated.
It's true that colonial constructs were not made with the progress of Africans in mind. However, take out "ethnically homogenous" and switch it with "culturally homogenous" . It's not ethnicity that holds people back, but the mismatch of culture and worldview
So you're say essentially that Africa should be divided into minimum 1500 countries to accommodate all ethnic groups. That's lazy reasoning at best but really a foolish take.

Not speaking Ukrainian or Russian; I felt as though lots of people weren’t happy to have us there. There’s no doubt in my mind they were always going to let Ukrainian born citizens to get first priority when leaving the country.
Eastern Europe is a different culture! They are not as open to complete strangers, in general! You would need to be introduced to them, and then the doors open! They are very hospitable and generous, but slow to warm up to strangers, in general! I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience!

@@lenitaa7938 Nathan gave his true opinion on his experience with Eastern Europeans. Instead of listening and learning from his experience you want to makeup excuses for their bad behavior or even terrible culture. You are trying to control a narrative and manipulate his feelings by pretending his experience was false, a mistake, or for that one time. Here's a personal lesson for you: it's rude to deny another person's feelings. Here's a personal lesson for myself: Eastern Europeans are not going to learn from this war. They are going to continue being hateful and cold to people who are not like them. This is who they are. This is their culture. Hate.
The first priority of Ukrainian authorities was to get the elder, the sick as well as women and children out. I saw these men pushing women and children in order to board the trains first. They had to wait their turn. Surely they will be the first to return once Ukrainian blood has liberated the country.
Exactly. Everybody was running to safety, no matter white or black. Women with children, the elderly and disabled were given priority on the buses. This is WAR! Everybody fights for survival. Thousands of white people walked on foot for hours or even days to this border, not only the black ones, and were waiting there again for hours if not days to pass. Lots of people experienced hell. Btw, Slavic countries are not post-colonial and do not owe anybody in Africa anything. White and black issues are not the topic there and are of no interest to them.
Shameless people when they left Africa, the say was Africa is bad thing are never right in Africa, Africa is God forsaken.

And have the guts to say everybody is racist, when i get scammed by nigerian prince and i assume all nigerians are scammers, wait for the shitstorm. This is racist video.
well thats why you proof to the embassy that you woulf go back after studies. so stop talking nonsence
What benefits..?
Did you watch the full video? Would you fight an African war if you only went there for school?
I never understood why we go places where we are not wanted?? We need to build our own institutions and progress from there.

Russia and China are two countries that could help Africa and Africans...the west are not the only ones with technology anymore.
@@GeorgeFafa why do Africa need help from these countries?? Africa has the resources and agriculture to produce for themselves instead of of countries stealing from what they have. Knowledge is power but dependent on another country is not self sustaining
@@ybuckw248 I mean, just yesterday the news dropped about huge gold reservoirs having been found in Nigeria, and guess what? The Chinese will dig it out. So either Nigeria doesn't have the equipment nor knowledge to farm gold, or their leaders are corrupt and sell the rights to foreigners for a quick cash grab. Or both.
@@ybuckw248 Never said NEED the help. But need some help they do. In lots of areas, not every country can do agriculture. especially in Africa. Resources are elsewhere also but to get to them, technology is needed. It is very, but very hard to not cooperate with anyone these times. The point being with China and Russia, they wont be such assholes as the west.
The remedy to this problem is for the so-called African leaders to stop the damn corruption and pay attention to developing their countries and providing the basic needs for their people.
@D Fraser if you want to help people in Africa, donate to homeless shelters or even the red cross. I live in Africa, and our governments are a joke.
Exactly
@D Fraser Everywhere was corruption you can’t escape it and Africa is a continent you can’t just donate to it you donate to individual countries.Plus it’s not the peoples fault that their government is like that they just have less means to stop it than people in Europe etc
@@shroder2748 well funny thing is that white people in Africa are the ones homeless black people have more rights in Africa than white people do
Well said, Esau.
This is why Africa should be rebuilt, re-energised, revamped and secured so we as tenants in those countries won't have to be thrown out or caught in the fire every time the landlord and his wife quarrel.
This is why Africa should be....easier said than done!
Very good anology
The problem is most of Africa is being economically raped by its former colonial masters. Ukraine is supports the colonial rapist. Russia has help African liberation movements. Africans in Ukraine should be undercover agents for Russia.

This is a wake up call for Africans to ask their government for accountability so that there would never be any reason for Africans to leave Africa for greener pastures elsewhere
I was pushing these horror stories to friends and family in the United States. I'm glad to see that you have put it all together here. The other side of my anger is with the African embassies. Where were they? How could they abandon their citizens like that?
Your ignorance is very scary. Ukraine urged them to stay and assured their embassies it was ok up until the invasion. It's also very difficult to evacuate citizens in warzones when one side is a white supremacist nation.
My brother, i can understand that situation but i cant understand how some can sell their soul for riches...for many, the desire to feel luke somebody they will sell everything. I look at many of my people here in the U.S., how to become a star or famous you will have to boot lick and 💋 butt to get certain positions and ro hold them. Many of them are joining these secret societies in order to go up the ladder, but this opens the door way for them to serve Satan unaware until it is made known. Everything that gliters isnt gold!!!
lmao is that the first thing that you think about why the embassy wont send help REALLY ??? is that really why your angry ?? if they wanted to leave shouldnt they leave. stop making these excuses for yourself. where is your europe why did they leave ukraine to their destiny dont they have a treaty to help the ukrainers from russian invasion in trade of their nucleir weapons ???

It was all over the news, the US telling its citizens to evacuate. If they didn't want to fight, why did they stay there?

They bailed so fast that they left their coats, pathetic! Perhaps it's that same entitled mentality that they have some priority over citizens because they're black and owe nothing to Ukraine. And those sad excuses who lived in Ukraine for YEARS but ran out saying NOT OUR WAR, because they are of different color all of a sudden they're just visiting or something. And NO, Polish govt under no obligation to take them in, even though they DID. THESE cowards say they want peace but Somalia, Rwanda, Tigray are committing genocide of their own people and nothing is being done... They just want peace wherever they drift to, they do absolutely nothing to deserve it. Ukraine has to fight to get their peace, these cowards run and complain because people aren't jumping for joy to have them over... They deserve the treatment they got!!!!
Don’t worry we going to remember this I hope they safe that’s the only thing I can say but I do not want them back in my country a lot of them was for free and everything for free now we are bad people we need positive energy we don’t need this nonsense they wanted to another country to take them and they didn’t even want to go back to that ain’t country and that’s the truth but now they want to play this race car Ukraine is the only country that take all type of people when they become refugees we get them food we get them home we give them everything the whole you’re a reject those people Polon do not take no refugees from Africa nor those places from the Middle East also we take everybody now we race
My heart goes out to those who are still trapped in Ukraine. I hope they all find an escape route soon. Selah!!!

Being trapped in a war zone is the worst thing anyone could face, especially when you're a foreigner!
I wouldn't want a coward next to me in a fight! Many were cowards fleeing conflicts back home. They were happy to take the generosity of Ukraine, but when it was time to pay the debt for that generosity, they are cowards now. If it was so awful living there, why choose NOW to leave?
@@462-x5n You're just viewing it from one perspective as not everyone can fight and I wouldn't be surprised if you have the forceful expectation that more than 25% of the inmigrants SHOULD join the war effort just to satisfy a bit that unrealistic expectation people, that think like you, have concerning this type of scenarios. Unfortunately, to some extent you're correct, only to take it to a completely apathetic, disingenuous and obtuse stance, by "changing" the order of things, because if you're really cognizant on what really lies underneath both sides' interactions you would know that even if 25% of the african inmigrants would have joined the war effort, those inhuman people that denied them the train, would have done so again, so if you were the inmigrant, how would you proceed??? Fight for people that didn't show any regard for your family and kin or in this case, leave?
Basically there's no incentive for them to fight, only regret if they do.
Setting this in a hypothetical analogy, if I save your life, a total stranger to me, but something really bad happens in my life and then I seek you out to PUSH you into risking your life for my own sake, would you do it?! At the very least, you would ask yourself, what was my whole point in saving your life only to place it in jeopardy again, right?
There's more nuance to this situation than what I wrote, and even more than what you wrote; it's so easy to comment and especially criticize like you did.
Yes, there's an undeniable debt, but one that shouldn't be pushed against someone's will, otherwise that debt takes a different meaning, unless of course you deem their lives in lower value by default for ulterior motives, ungrounded and sickening reasons they might be.
They keep saying it's not there country not there war. Also they are upset they are not being treated like first class with the vulnerable women and children. I'm sure it's not all but every African man I have met has violated my boundaries. They do female genital mutalation and then head over here with a penchant for degrading white women.
@The Lost One It is illegal for nationals of most countries to fight for a foreign nation. In fact you can be jailed for treason and stripped off your nationality. And fighting for another country is one of the few sections which allows for stripping nationality worldwide. This was the law used by Western countries to strip ISIS volunteers. Though the problem there was, when you strip someone, you were automatically accepting that ISIS had a nation. Also, there were many foreign volunteers in the beginning of the war. But the Ukrainians rejected anyone who was not White assuming they were there for the citizenship. The truth could not be farther since most such people normally volunteer in the French or the US military and did not really have to choose Ukraine. Coupled with loss of nationality, it is simply not possible for a foreigner to fight for Ukraine. From the looks of it, Ukrainian society much like Polish one is quite racist and is accepted as normal by the government. We have racism in India to a minor extent, but the state accepts no racism of any form.
@The Lost One THANK YOU!!! Freedom isn't free! It was bought and paid for in blood. You can't enjoy the lifestyle of the West (which they are still doing) and refuse to stand up and defend it. The EU countries are too good to expel them, but that is exactly what I would do. You've shown yourselves to not be deserving of our compassion. Go home! (BTW, I am a BLACK FEMALE from a military family.)
"not our war"... yes exactly, this should be the same sentence our navy should say to all your immigrants from Nigeria that illegally enter in our countries every day, considering that you are not escaping from any war. Poland did well to not accept them inside. "Never protect someone that won't protect you if you are in danger". this is the clear example.
They said they are students incase you missed out on that! So do you expect them to join the military with those racist Ukrainians who would push them behind the queue?

Hell no, Africans are the minority in Ukraine and are subjected to racism wherever they go. Why the hell would they want to help the country when the country wouldnt spit on you if you was on fire? They wanted the country for themselves so they can fight for it by themselves.
@@DboyRed That's completely regardless, you're talking about the social ramifications if their existence in Ukraine when it comes down to what they received via the Ukrainian government's aid.

Jet V. I’m replying from the Uk. I’m with you on this one.
People here are receiving Ukrainian refugees into their homes, direct from Ukrainian war zones after 70 DAYS of war.
These Ukrainian citizens arriving in UK as I write, are females and kids ONLY, who have only now in the last few days managed to escape out of Ukraine.
Here in the Uk, there is a lot of respect and admiration, for the Ukrainian nation based primarily on the fact that they are fighting back against the aggression of Russia and NOT running away.
I too am saddened to hear so many comments on this video of “Not our fight” , general ‘woe is me’ comments, etc. These Africans presumably choose to live in and amongst the general population of Ukraine, but the evidence from this video is that they are completely uncommitted citizens.
The interviewee near the start stated that the border guards where treating “EVERYBODY THE SAME”. In other words, the guards treated everybody badly. Maybe understandably given the general chaos of the moment. So, how has this become a story about race?
The BBC should do a follow up article on volunteers from Ukraines African population who have joined the fight to save Ukrainian civilisation. I for one would happily respect and admire these individuals.
From the evidence of this video I wouldn’t expect a follow up article any time soon.

@@JeroenBIG Same treatment was given to females, there was no distinction. A Moroccan student mentions treatment like not being able to go to the gas station to buy tea or use the bathroom, just kept in the non-white group. If you are a non- Ukrainian woman you don't count. There is a video of a black woman with a baby not being allowed on a train and being forced off for a childless individual. It's a problem in a society where non-whites stick out. If something happened in London where I am, people might divide into their groups but you wouldn't be able to hold one group of women back as the society is multi-ethnic.

if they have an exchange program youd think theyd have consular services that knew where their people are, can contact them and help them find a way out of the country.

looking at it, one big problem is that you need to renounce your other citizenships to get ukrainian citizenship, you cant have dual citizenship, that probably stopped many from getting full ukrainian citizenship, instead going for residency or equivalents.
you dont loose your ukrainian citizenship when you get an other passport, but you need to renounce your other citizenships when you get the ukrainian passport.

Right before the invasion on the 24th Feb, many governments asked their citizens to leave Ukraine, as the invasion was imminent. Why didn't the African governments do the same? It was the right thing to do to prevent such issues.
Above anything, It is the obligation of our home government to protect us, to warn us when we are in danger zones and to take us home if that's the case.

Thank you for letting us know almost all of the Africans have managed to safely evacuate and have hopefully made it to their homes and families. It is incredible so many millions of people evacuated so quickly, and safely. I think the number of fatalities which resulted from the evacuation are low, and those are the result of the interruption of medical care for elderly and ill people during the evacuation. Even cancer patients were evacuated and quickly were able to resume medical treatment. During such a challenging event, it is easy for us to think we are the only one suffering, and to not realize how many people are living on the edge of death due to their pre-existing medical situation and their suffering greatly exceeds our own inconvenience.

@@thurguud How is it possible for someone to be this racist.
@@thurguud You're mistaken. Many Black Ukranians are staying to fight. But like Ukranian law states, women and children are allowed to leave. SO WHY ARE BLACK-UKRANIAN women and children still left behind the border whilst other Ukrainians are allowed to leave? Some of them are also just INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. Not permanent citizens. So those laws aren't even applicable to them
A lot of countries evacuated their citizens before the war started. Why did the African countries not do the same for their citizens?
I know that many African and other countries had help and busses waiting for their Nationals, but on the Other side of the Ukrainean border!!! Once the students crossed the border, they generally would be safer! The Poland border is a tough place to cross if you aren't White, compared to other countries, such as Hungary, Moldova, Romania, etc!
Also, the University instructors were actively discouraging their foreign students from leaving, threatening their grades, etc!
because they do not care for their own citizens.
I am African and I agree with you!

Only citizens have an obligation to defend the country. There are hundreds of thousands European living in gulf Arabs states, none of which will fight if a Middle East war started.
Words to take to heart: "Everybody's suffering counts."
@Will Long when has that sentiment ever meant anything?
Racism or discrimination is Putin's Russian propaganda for "under-belt" strike. Russians are not hunting and killing Africans and the Ukrainians know this, therefore the priority to help run and escape it would be normal to be given to those deceived against by Putin as being "Nazis". Why should priority to escape be given to Africans which are not the target ? but Ukrainians are !

Definitely understand non native Ukrainians not wanting to fight for Ukraine (as a non native Ukrainian and non citizen I would try to leave too). But you can’t blame the Ukrainian government prioritizing and rewarding the ones who did fight over the ones who didn’t after the peace is won.
What are you even talking about? You expect African women and children to fight for a racist country? So many Ukrainian men have fled.
I absolutely agree with you, the Africans in this video shouldn’t have to fight for Ukraine. But once the peace is won and the west helps Ukraine rebuild, the best opportunities will in part go to those who did fight. At that point, if those Africans choose to come back. They shouldn’t be complaining (along with the other Ukrainians who fled) about being second choice.

@@GH-xy4zz That's a ludicrous notion you gave about the 'best opportunities to those that stayed to fight' in Ukraine after the War!

And, when Ukraine starts inviting the Foreign Students again, this will bite the Ukrainean Universities, because they will likely face resistance! The potential students will remember how their predesessors were treated when a crisis occurred! That even their women and children were refused passage based on their skin color!

the problem is as an illegal immigrant you arent known to the government, both your own and the host countries.
just one of the many dangers of being an illegal immigrant.
you are right when it comes to legal immigrants/ citizens being discriminated against, based on their skin tone, thats disgusting and i hope those responsible will be prosecuted once ukraine and the rest of the world has time to reflect on all that happened during the war.
i dont think its "a ukrainian crime", more so racist individuals abusing the chaos to live out their power fantasy. i dont think this was a ukranian policy in any way, ukrainans shouldnt feel ashamed because of this, i hope they are more so angry at the people that brought them disrepute and the ukranian government isnt responsible, beyond bringing the perpetrators to justice, for this.
"Prioritizing and rewarding the ones who did fight"? I'm sorry is the war past tense now? You can't be prioritizing rewarded if you're dead.
As an African I understand why Africans will take offense to the racism. But for the people who moved to Ukraine for a better life and lived 10+ years it may sound ignorant to say "not my war" but before the war you saw yourself as a Ukrainian citizen and enjoyed the benefits.

@@dineshbhat7978 most africans know the pain of been I'll treated by indians who look like them
This would be true for most countries, yet the reason Ukraine is this racist today is because of their history. Look at Stepan Bandera, the National Hero of Ukraine. He was the founder of the UPA and main perpetrator of the Genocide in Volhynia against the Poles. The Ukrainian Government has always wanted Ukraine for the Ukrainians. And today some previously Polish territory now belongs to the Ukrainians and no apology has ever been given to the Poles. If they're that mean to Poles, I can only imagine how they are to black people.
I am Ukrainian and to tell the truth it is really painfull what I am hearing from these African people. My country was welcome to give them an opportunity to study, but the hard time started for Ukrainians and a lot of Ukrainian have been killed I can hear these bad words about my country instead of a drop of empathy to Ukrainian people. I was evacuated together with African students and there was no difference between me and them. We tried to support each other. Ukrainians don't have any difference to the colour of person, but Ukrainians can directly correct you if you do something wrong. Fo example, in the line there should be elderly people and mothers with kids first, no matter what nationality you are, first to help are kids with mothers and elderly people, it's our Ukrainian mentality. No matter what colour of your skin if you are a man, you must let kids with mothers and elderly people be save first. It's Ukrainian mentality, it's not to be choosy towards different nationalities. On Ukrainian land all nationalities are equal of front of this rule. Ukrainian men or women without children even can't emagine to save themselves first, it's out of our mentality. The first on the list the weakest ages are like kids with mothers and elderly people.
Take no notice
it's typical of the BBC
to promote this kind of division
You are delusional and Ukranians are no better than any other European country.
why black people even go to eastern europe is beyond me, the racism there is world known
Ukrainians discriminated against Indians and Africans and you're making this about you. Of course as an individual you might not be racist and discriminatory but you can't invalidate these people's experiences and what they went through all because you you or the people you know don't think like that. Many non white people have been complaining about the racism they face in Ukraine for years it's not like this is the first time this issue is being brought up. I have so much empathy for people who are going through war and considering Ukraine's history with Russia this war is a terrible one but I cannot at the same time act like I'm not hurt by the racism Africans faced during the war in Ukraine.

I was lucky. I left Kyiv with my family on February 24, got to the border on the morning of February 25, and crossed the border to Poland on the evening of February 26. I was lucky because I crossed the border in my own car. But I did witness this horror at the border and even had an interview with a South African station TV about it. I almost cried every time a black person asked if I could help them cross the border and I had to tell them I didn't have any more space in my car. I did manage to squeeze a skinny Pakistani student in between my kids' car seats, helping him all the way to Warsaw as he made his way to the Pakistani embassy.
Bless you🙏🏾Stay safe #insidelife
God bless u for helping that student
Seun Tegbe, you weren't lucky, you were smart to get out. Fortunately you had a car, so your journey was more comfortable than most everyone else's journey. It was kind of you to help the Pakistani student, and he was smart to go to the Pakastani embassy. You understand why you couldn't help more people, you would never leave your own child behind while you took a stranger into your car. It is a heartbreaking choice, but a clear choice. You were lucky because you didn't encounter violent people who pushed you and your children out of your car so they could get in. There were adult men who were doing that very thing to Ukrainian women with small children at the train stations. Perhaps they didn't understand when the Ukrainian train conductors explained in Ukrainian, these trains were devoted to evacuate Ukrainian women and children, particularly the families of Ukrainian soldiers. There was a concern Russian-paid operatives were already in Ukraine who would attack the families of Ukrainian soldiers. This is also one of the reasons for extra-tight border controls during this war. I don't know if you are a citizen of Ukraine or another country, but wherever you are, I'm glad you were able to escape and take your family to safety. So many Ukrainian women are trying to support their children in a foreign land, while their husbands and fathers are fighting and dying, and their country is being destroyed. Their pain is incredible, and yet I seldom see them complaining or whining. This is how they have won the hearts of the Polish people.
@@cherylk.2474 I stayed in Poland for 10 days with my family. I am a permanent resident, wife and kids are Ukrianian citizens. I wouldn't have gotten out as a man in his thirties if I was a citizen. Weirdly enough, I only submitted my application for citizenship months earlier and was supposed to pick up a supporting police report for that application on the morning of February 24. Needless to say, that plan didn't work out. While in Poland, we were hosted by the kindest family in a village called Kack near Warsaw. In Poland, then Germany, and now in Canada, I did meet (and continue to meet) a lot of women with children trying to navigate this new life, some without knowing any English or even having recent job experiences. It is not uncommon for women to be homemakers in Ukraine (my wife is), which in itself is more than a full-time job only it is unpaid. All of a sudden, these women have to navigate the labor market in a new country using a new language. I can't imagine the level of strength that requires.
@@SeunLight517 Seun, thank you for being so kind to understand and appreciate the terrible stress these Ukrainian women are experiencing. You and your family are also under a horrid amount of stress and I'm glad you made your way to Canada. Life as a homemaker is unfortunately greatly disparaged in the west, but having grown up in a home with a mother who was a full-time homemaker and a Polish father who was a professional, self-employed man, I know I was among the fortunate children in the world. We didn't buy all the new clothes, or toys, or stuff, but we laughed a lot in our happy home, and I have wonderful memories and loving sisters. Today, families seem to be under so much pressure. I have a niece who is able to work from home, and this reduces so much stress for their family. You sound like an intelligent, responsible and loving man, and you will be an asset to whichever country in which you choose to build your life, as well as a good father and husband. I wish you good fortune and a very happy future.

They do not even have the benefit of transcripts so they can transfer credits.......after all the money expended on getting an education. Besides, the european curriculum will most likely not be the same with other parts of world where they could complete their studies in peace. The obvious & next best thing to do would be to complete their studies somewhere closeby. Somewhere where the curriculum wouldn't be so different.
If after studies, that country doesn't think they need them as the professionals they've become......🤷♀️ ....then, by all means, ask them to leave; respectfully and with human dignity accorded them.
They'll take their skills where its needed. Trust me, there'll always be somewhere else where their expertise will be needed. That's how it's been from the beginning of time.......and that's how it will always be. Man was made to migrate. This is why, those who haven't had the benefit of travelling and mixing with other cultures end up being narrow minded and uneducated; in so many ways.
P.S
There's no argument, bad leadership in Africa has maimed and or crippled many aspects of our lives (education being one of them) but Africa does not have the monopoly of this type of leadership, either. Many so called "developed" nations would be described otherwise where it not for African students and professionals who have made those places, "home".

The word around town was a lot of the African embassie left their citizens to fend for themselves in Ukraine. And it was the Polish ppl, who came to the boarder of Poland and Ukraine, that paid for the Africans flight back home.
How horrid. African governments literally don’t care about their citizens
A doctor talks about his love of Ukraine and then describes fleeing Kiev when the shelling gets a bit hot. Should he not have stayed and helped the wounded in the country he loves? No, he just runs away and then feels hard down by that Ukrainian women and children were allowed run away faster than him.
lol🤣
he is a disgrace.
Maybe he wants to save his self.
i mean.. this kinda sums it up. It does literally seem to be this simple.
Great documentary, stories has to be told, no doubt about that. But you never mention the fact that these people have been left behind by their own officials. That's horrible to know that officials from your country, your own brothers won't help you even in war time.
Please go back to your home and build your own country. Europe is not your home.
If you have stayed in Ukrainian for 10 years you don’t just run away when times are bad it doesn’t matter how you are
Correct. I'm actually disgusted by their cowardice.
I concur...
Africans run away from everyone that’s what no has respect for them only see Africans as a charity case.
Say this to nato aswell
We know that 90% of Europeans in Europe hate Black people, you can pretend all you want. You ain't seen nothing yet. We are just waiting for Russia and China to get started with you, then we Africans will give you the final blow, Economic strangulation will do you just fine. We are not cowards, we know our friends and foes. Do you know yours?
I can understand if you are just a student , and are there to get an education , but if you live there for a number of years ,worked and paid taxes , rented or owned and have citizenship . Then it is your home ,and then its your fight as well . If you do not feel this way ,then maybe you should of stayed in your own country , and helped make it better .
If you accept them as equal citizens and not discriminate against them at every chance you get, maybe your point might hold some merit.
I agreee.
Exactly!!! I dont want them in my country if they are not willing to defend it. They are cowards!
No one should be forced to fight a war. Not even ukrainian citizens
It's not a Chinese fight if he lives in Ghana for years
It's not a black mans fight
Even if a black man should fight it be at the side of Putin
Thx
But yet still Africa is rolling out the red carpet for Europeans
??
so you live their for many years and call it home but Ukraine's invasion and destruction is not your concern ?
Exactly, so when things get bad they want to claim that's not their home seems like that's how it was working when they were in Africa
"this is not our war" then you shouldn't be there in the first place. Want all the benfits of living in Europe but as soon as shit hits the fan they want to be the first to leave.
Black Africa needs to fix itself. Colonial constructs like Nigeria, Congo, etc that have ensured the true potential of their citizens never get realised need to break up, and true ethnically homogenous nations should take their place. Such re-alignments are what got Europe on its path to development. We can't develop if we are constantly in conflict with one another. And we need to develop in order to keep our best within our fold and away from the other races of the world, who hate us for no real reason.
EXACTLY 💯
True word's 👍✔I agree those people has two faces, they 're racist 🙄every where they go racism goes with them, they must treat people 🙄😉the way they wanted to be treated.
It's true that colonial constructs were not made with the progress of Africans in mind. However, take out "ethnically homogenous" and switch it with "culturally homogenous" . It's not ethnicity that holds people back, but the mismatch of culture and worldview
So you're say essentially that Africa should be divided into minimum 1500 countries to accommodate all ethnic groups. That's lazy reasoning at best but really a foolish take.
@@Cr8wnroyal don't mind them..
I feel nothing for rich Afericans who left their home land because of conflict and refused to stay at home and fight for change.
Africa for Africans
Africans don’t even fight for their own land, don’t expect them to fight someone else’s fight
You can't expect anything out of them
To everyone in this video, please don't suffer in silence, speak up proudly and be heard. You are all loved. Xxx
Shameful to say these things...these people definitely got out...they definitely got home to homes family and friends....the most vulnerable people go first...not young healthy men...or woman.... nothing to do with skin colour...STOP STOP STOP SAYING THAT THIS IS ABOUT RACE ...I AM ANGRY THAT THESE FIT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE MOANING ABOUT HAVING TO LET ELDERLY SICK OR CHILDREN 18HOURS BEFORE YOUNG HEALTH Y PEOPLE 😭😭😭

So yes to the money, yes to demand citizenship, yes to the good food, yes to government help, yes to clothes more expensives than the ones i wear paying taxes but without paying taxes or paying the clother themselves, yes to medical care... but not our war... ill consider that next time an african says he wants to be integrated into society... we should just stop paying taxes, look them in the streets homeless without food or clothes and say "not our problem"
Wow! He is a doctor and has lived there for 40 years and yet, he doesn't participate in the Ukrainian fight for freedom against Russia. Is he a sometimes patriot? Only when he is safe? He could be helping the wounded from the war or even using a weapon to protect Ukraine as is every male required to do. But no, he wants out, not his war. He should leave quickly and never go back because he has not earned Ukrainian citizenship, and does not deserve it.
Africans! Africans! Africans! Stay in africa. We have a very beautiful continent
With no plumbing, dirt roads, mud huts, tribal warfare, etc etc
@@_eXraided_ you should visit africa one of this fine days. For me am better of here than in countries that people hate you for your skin color. Maybe just maybe we might learn to do the same..
I’m from Ireland. I was in Ukraine only two months before the war started. I couldn’t get over how cold some of the people are in Eastern Europe. Not speaking Ukrainian or Russian; I felt as though lots of people weren’t happy to have us there. There’s no doubt in my mind they were always going to let Ukrainian born citizens to get first priority when leaving the country.
Eastern Europe is a different culture! They are not as open to complete strangers, in general! You would need to be introduced to them, and then the doors open! They are very hospitable and generous, but slow to warm up to strangers, in general! I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience!
Try to make Ukrainean friends in Ireland, learn about their culture, learn a few phrases .. Do not take your previous time in Ukraine personally!
@peristera mpazo Lots of people speak English at a conversational level there. In my hotel and tour guides were all in English. And I’m aware of that yes.
Her children were born in Ukraine,so it's not Ukrainian Nationals first priority unless they are white,what about all the Syrian refugees??? Why weren't they supported the same way??? Because they weren't white.....
@@lenitaa7938 Nathan gave his true opinion on his experience with Eastern Europeans. Instead of listening and learning from his experience you want to makeup excuses for their bad behavior or even terrible culture. You are trying to control a narrative and manipulate his feelings by pretending his experience was false, a mistake, or for that one time.
Here's a personal lesson for you: it's rude to deny another person's feelings.
Here's a personal lesson for myself: Eastern Europeans are not going to learn from this war. They are going to continue being hateful and cold to people who are not like them. This is who they are. This is their culture. Hate.
This people were going thought war. They are deeply traumatized and you called them cold...Fuck 0ff!
The first priority of Ukrainian authorities was to get the elder, the sick as well as women and children out. I saw these men pushing women and children in order to board the trains first. They had to wait their turn. Surely they will be the first to return once Ukrainian blood has liberated the country.
Exactly. Everybody was running to safety, no matter white or black. Women with children, the elderly and disabled were given priority on the buses. This is WAR! Everybody fights for survival. Thousands of white people walked on foot for hours or even days to this border, not only the black ones, and were waiting there again for hours if not days to pass. Lots of people experienced hell. Btw, Slavic countries are not post-colonial and do not owe anybody in Africa anything. White and black issues are not the topic there and are of no interest to them.
Shame not your war, but you were eating there food and enjoying their facility.
Shameless people when they left Africa, the say was Africa is bad thing are never right in Africa, Africa is God forsaken. The urkrian that was one that far better than the Africa base on their goliable desire they could not even stay and throw a stone for it. Disappointed set of people. The Africa that nothing ever go that they ran from is where they ran to again you home is home. We that stay is our God blessed Africa we will always stand and fight for it like urkrians. As for you, on worthy citizens of nowhere, if trouble also start here you will also run. Then who will safe guard for? God will help urkrians to your shame.
All I can say is may God see them through and end this war.Amen
In Jesus Christ name amen
Ameen

@@H3aven100 someone's else war?? What are you doing in Ukraine in the first place?? After the war they will ban ⬛️
Indian and Afrikan students got kick out of the train in beginning of the war. Ukraine soldiers really kick them !
I feel really bad for these people but, I dunno .... if you’ve lived there for 15 years & you speak Ukraine & Russian, your kids were born there & they speak both languages as well ... I think it’s your war.
Ukrainian people have enough on their hands already and black people really out here making it about themselves...
I don't get it...
Relatively young African men in Ukraine living a decent life for 1 or 2 decades.
But when the war started they are all like "good luck, suckers! I'm out"
Why not supporting Ukraine? Why not stay, why not fight?
I'm pretty sure they are in urgent need of talented surgeons...
But not a single word of consideration about joining the fight and defending their "home"...
That is their mentality. Don’t you know that by now?🤷🏻♀️
These people are all about them self's, nothing goes there way we are all racists, they are the most racist people in the world
Hey come on!!! Every country, every continent evacuated their citizens. That's how it is. If you as a foreigner where trapped in a dangerous war inflicted region, your country will do everything to evaluate you.
“Not our war” ? But it’s okay for you to expect Europe to save Africa? “If you are black you should walk” this shows the divide between our worlds, I hope the UK govt and sees the words spoken here and makes sure you never get in here
The shop has sadly sailed on that one. Your inundated with them!
