Face of America Pics

For Africa refugees, "Roots" hero is the scary face of America
More than 4,000 war-displaced pastoralists belonging to Eritrea's Kunama tribe, some of them languishing in this malarial holding camp for years, received a golden offer that the world's 9 million other refugees only dream of: free resettlement in the land of riches and liberty, the United States. Yet, to the bewilderment of aid workers, the overwhelming majority of Kunamas answered with a resounding "No thanks."

Scared indeed...

It's about time that someone stands up for Eritrea's Kunama tribe

Nice composition, tho the symbolism is rather arcane. Even as a US citizen, the Kunama would still be a slave . Nowadays refugees seek "riches and liberty" in Europe, where there is less racism.
