'We are sitting ducks': Africans students see no way out of besieged Ukraine
Cut off by Russian forces and surrounded by the sounds of battle, Adamu Rabiu sleeps in his clothes, shoes laced, ready to flee if he can. The young Nigerian is among hundreds of students, many of them Africans, stuck in the eastern Ukrainian city of Sumy and desperate to escape. "We don't know how many days this situation will last," the 23-year-old medical student told reporters by telephone. "It's scary. There is no solution to get out. It is worse to stay."
