The man slept outside in the parking lot in Kenya in Kenya in January and in January, confusion and disbelief.
Family, refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), expected a flight for us for relocation in just time.
But after the US President Donald Trump suspended the American refugee program only two days before the planned departure family, the man said that the flight to America was rapidly canceled – less than 24 hours before takeoff.
“I didn’t go anywhere else to go,” man, who asked him to go named Pacito to protect his identity, said BBC.
He has already moved his family from his home, sold us furniture and most of his things and prepared for a new life in America. They remain in Kenya, as safer the chances of the DRC, where they escaped in the conflict.
They represent only three of approximately 120,000 refugees that are conditionally approved in the United States, but now waiting in Limba due to refugee break.
Trump move hinted to a great change in approach that followed successive American leaders. According to the former President Joe Biden, over 100,000 refugees came to the US in 2024. years – the highest annual figure in almost three decades.
Since in January, Trump quickly moved to keep his campaign promise for the “American” first “day order that participated dramatically limiting the routes of whom migrants could come to the United States.
The effort also included the ambitious deportation program under which people were deported in the infected Mega-prison in El Salvador against the order of the judge, as well as subtracting visas over a thousand students, and offering illegal immigrants of $ 1,000.
The white house defended her actions suggesting that many of them were forced from the country or violent criminals or threatens American interests.
But exceptions of policies are made for several few.
The President signed the executive order in February, which opened the path of refugees exclusively by Africani – a white South African who claimed to be victims of “racial discrimination”.
The plane bearing 59 of them landed at the airport right in front of Washington DC early this month, in a solemn greeting involved in the Deputy Secretary.
“It’s not fair,” Pacito commented. “There are 120,000 refugees that went through the entire process, checking, security, medical projections. We’ve been waiting for years, but now these (Africaners) are only processed in three months.”
The situation left that Pacito feels stuck. Since he sold all the equipment he was supposed to work in his field of music production, during the last few months he fought to find unusual jobs to earn money for his family. “It’s kind of hard,” he said.
Trump further justified his decision to accept Africaras as Refugees in the United States, because they are facing “genocide” – a message, which echoed Elon’s Musca, his South African-African Federal.
Such claims were circulated during the years, although they were widely discredited and South Africa refused.
However, the invitation was taken over by the new Animus – especially in South Africa, the law in South Africa, which allowed the Government to subtract the country of white owners, “when it is only fair and in the public interest.” The Law on Post-apartheid-eri should have been engaged in frustrations around disproportionate ownership of Africa; The white population in the country is approximately 7%, but it had approximately 72% of agricultural land.
Although South African President Ciril Ramafos said that land was not taken in the new law, after which it was made, Trump ordered that the United States ordered hundreds of millions of dollars to help with help help. Diplomatic wedding followed.
It is focused on Wednesday on Wednesday during a tense meeting of the white house between the money. Trump session of Ramafos on TV with white “persecution” requirements – allegedly rejected Ramafos allegation.
Analysts described the broader foreign policy of Trump’s second term as an isolationist, with numerous moves made to cut foreign assistance and be exposed to foreign conflicts, except reducing immigration.
Trump also interrupted tens of billions of dollars in global assistance contracts – including funds supported by rescuing HIV / AIDS programs in South Africa. He justified the decrease by saying that his team identified the hosts in consumption.
The moves appear in the old woman’s opinion decision to quickly monitor the arrival of the white South African – a fact criticized by refugee advocacy groups.
“Any case of protection should be based on credible evidence of persecution, and here is the central issue and equal treatment of the Law” “Timothei Young from the non-profit organization global refuge said BBC.
“So, if one group can access humanitarian roads, so asphgana allies, thousands of religious minorities, who face serious threats and who meet legal criteria for refugee status,” Mr. Young said.
Among other moves, Trump administration decided not to renew temporary protected status for Adghanza in the United States, saying “Afghanistan had an improved security situation” and “stabilizing economy”. Now they are facing deportation.
South Africa does not release Cirines for crime based on race, but the latest personalities were discovered that 6,953 people were killed in the country between October and December 2024. Years.
Of that, 12 was killed in farm attacks. Of the 12, one was a farmer, usually white, while five inhabitants of agricultural farms and four employees, which were probably black.
In the meantime, in the DRC, thousands of civilians have been killed in armed militia in recent years, and almost 100,000 displaced persons, according to UN data.
Pacito was sanded by DRC on foot 2016 years, recalled “guns everywhere I looked at” at that time and “there is no peace.” He said the members of his wife’s family were killed.
Among the others who have now seen as increasingly likely to move as refugees, the Hammad family, which is from Gaza, but now live in Egypt.
“After what happened to the truth, I think it will be impossible,” said Amjad Hammad on the BBC.
He and his family signed up for the US Green Card Lottery 2024. Years, but learned in May that they were rejected.
He expressed confusion on Trump’s care for the state of the White South African in relation to other groups.
“What are Palestinians faced, if people in South Africa are faced with genocide?” He asked.
More than 53,000 people were killed over a gauze from 7. October 2023, when Israel launched a cross-border attack on South Israel, and about 1,200 people were killed around 1,200 people. About 1,200 people were killed.
The confuse she expressed Mr. Hammada is similar to the views of Pacito, whose hopes are moved to the US in January.
Since then, the homeless person in Nairoba was left in Nairobi, dragging from the place to put wherever someone accepted him and his family a few days.
“Sometimes we get food. Sometimes I don’t,” he said. “We fought a lot.”
Policy changes on the American side give him a little hope that he will accept the Trump, but an alternative to refer through Africa to his home country is unthinkable. “I can’t go back,” he said.
