Superpower legacy 'a disaster.' (racism towards African students in Commonwealth of Independent States)
Article Abstract:
African and other foreign students are experiencing racism and economic hardship in the Commonwealth of Independent States universities they attend. There are some 120,000 foreign students, who cannot cope with the 2% per day inflation rate and cannot afford to return home. There have been sit-ins and fasts to draw attention to their plight recently in Moscow. Their home countries have not offered help, and the CIS is struggling to meet its obligation to them.
