Africans in Beirut: Nowhere to go

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/5195240.stm


I cannot go back with just my clothes. If I arrived back after 37 years - just me and my handbag - everyone will laugh at me. People will think I've been doing nothing all the time I have been away.

Lots of Lebanese that grew up in West Africa as well. I see alot more moving there. I know back home in these times they're not viewed in a favorable light.

Nigeria is evacuating its citizens.

That's where the scams, tax evasion, and corruption come in. It's also how Hezbollah gets part of its funding.
