Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, thousands of African students have followed the influx of refugees to various European countries. Many now say they do not want to return to their home countries.

An estimated 23,000 Africans were studying at Ukrainian universities and other institutions when the war broke out. These accounted for about a third of the total number of foreign students in the country, which were mainly concentrated in Kharkiv, Lviv and Kyiv.

According to the newspaper, many other students who fled Ukraine are not interested in returning home, despite the fact that countries such as Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria and Congo are quickly finding ways to bring their citizens home.

Many have instead applied to countries such as France to find accommodation and want to continue their studies in Western European educational institutions
