A Cameroonian understudy has depicted how he and his companions have been constrained to stow away in a cellar within the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson to elude discuss attacks.

 

 

Christophe said that “each five minutes we are hearing bombardments”.

 

“Some of the time we are able to listen airplanes passing through the sky, generally bombardments since you'll feel it on the ground. That’s generally what we’re hearing, they are truly not exceptionally distant from us, they’re around the town,” he told the BBC’s Soraya Ali.

 

Weapon-shots may moreover be listened.

 

 

“We wear’t know what to do. We are frantic,” Christophe said.

 

“We are either within the cellar or in our domestic. Like one hour within the storm cellar, five minutes at domestic.”

 

He said that approximately 15 of them were stranded in Kherson – individual Cameroonians, Nigerians, Senegalese and Ghanaians.

 

 

“The city is said to have been circled by the Russian armed force. So, there's no way out. We find ourselves in this circumstance where we cannot do anything,” he included.

 

Their embassies had inquired them to reach the border of a neighboring state, from where they would be picked up, be that as it may, it was “incomprehensible” to take off, he said.

 

“We wear’t have any way out. If it's not too much trouble we are inquiring for offer assistance,” Christophe said.
