Help immigration case of Tolera Fikadu Dayo
Donation protected
Hi, My name is Bontu Yadeta. I am fundraising to sponsor Tolera's immigration to United States. Tolera has endured endless persecution, arbitrary incarcerations and intimidation by Ethiopia government security intelligence because of unfounded political allegations of having affiliation with the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) for long time. He was scared for his life and fled from the country in December 2010 and entered South Africa in February 2011 where he is living as a refugee. Fortunately even though the situation differs, South Africa was not as expected for Tolera. In South Africa hate crimes, xenophobic attacks, armed robbers and thugs are everywhere and there is no safe place for refugees. The promise for refugees by the constitution is nominal and being a formal refugee status in South Africa cannot guarantee for equal protection, freedom of work, rights to enroll into school and services. While attempting to work for his living, he was looted many times while working in different Johannesburg locations. For these and other compelling circumstantial factors, Tolera cannot be safe in South Africa. And also, he can’t go back to Ethiopia because he fears that if he return, he will definitely be identified and persecuted again. Let's come together and help Tolera to settle in the United States of America and as such breath air of peace for the remaining of his life. Your help is highly appreciated.
