Treat Sudan refugees same as Ukrainians

UK 'biased against Africa'

- MIKEY SMITH

BRITAIN has been accused of discriminating against people fleeing conflict in Sudan in favour of those escaping from Ukraine.

Refugees of Russia's war can obtain a visa in as little as 48 hours, while Ukrainians in the UK can sponsor a visa for relatives to live with them.

But no such schemes are in place for Sudan, where more than 700 have been killed in five weeks of fighting between rival army factions.

Over 100,000 have fled including Hassam 'Sam' Saeed, 29 stuck in Cairo despite his dad and siblings living in Rotherham, South Yorks.
