Over 200 Ghanaian supporters who applied for asylum after the 2014 World cup tournament have been granted a one – year stay in Brazil.
According to reports, the asylum seekers were granted an initial one year permits by Brazilian authorities, while some have made their way into different countries”
Speaking with Asempa FM, asylum seeker Hamidu Ahmed said: ‘We didn’t tell Brazilian authorities that there was conflict in Ghana and for that they should grant us asylum. Each and every one of us came here with his own reason which is definitely not a conflict situation. We have received our papers and some of us have already started working. Some of us work in industries and others work in the construction sector. Some have however left into neighboring Argentina, Ecuador and the likes. Others are also travelling by road to the USA.’
