The Igbo ethnic community of Nigeria’s South-East has been accused of discrimination by some stranded Nigerians in the conflict-ridden Sudan during the evacuation operation.

A Nigerian of the Igbo ethnic group is seen bemoaning the level of discrimination against Igbos in a foreign country, to the point where, after getting aboard evacuation vans, they were allegedly requested to disembark in Sudan, according to a viral video seen by SaharaReporters on Tuesday.

According to him, Igbos were left behind when Nigerian authorities evacuated stranded Nigerians from the war-torn Sudan by state of origin.

However, the young man in the video pleaded with powerful Igbo men to help them.

He said: “We are here in the University of Khartoum, they are doing evacuation project, evacuation of stranded Nigerians. They came and carried those they carried and left us that are Igbos. When we entered evacuation vehicle three days ago, we were asked to come down. Everything has entered into politics.

“We are being our people who could help us. Our brother Allen Onyeama of Air Peace brought out planes that will carry people from Egypt to home. He is there doing everything to ensure that things went well but I want to inform him and other Nigerians that things are not going well. See where they left Igbos to die while the news going on in Nigeria is that we have been evacuated. See us and our bags where they left us in Sudan. We have not been evacuated oh!

Man is too weak for my liking.

“He cannot stand his grounds to take some critical actions. Just imagine how they sidelined & abandoned Igbo’s intentionally in Sudan to die.”
