Scores of African students in Ukraine have complained of their awful treatment as they flee the war torn country. 

Many claimed they have been blocked from fleeing to safety and refused entry when they get to the border with Poland. 

Some took to Twitter in recent days to share harrowing stories of their ordeal.

Osarumen, a father-of-three, said he and his family members were waved away from the border on Saturday and told “No blacks.”

“Since then, I’ve been trying to get myself together and focus as normal but it’s been difficult,” he told The Independent.

“In all of my years as an activist, I have never seen anything like this. When I look into the eyes of those who are turning us away, I see bloodshot racism; they want to save themselves and they are losing their humanity in the process.

“I cannot imagine a scenario where white Ukranians would ever be denied asylum so how they’re treating us is unwarranted. It’s baseless. We are all escaping so let’s push a common thread.”

Osarumen, a Nigerian national who has lived in Ukraine since 2009, said he was currently stranded at a train station in Kyiv, the capital city, along with thousands of others and unsure of his next move.
