If anything, he believes that tensions are escalating at a rapid pace as attacks are spreading and civilians are advised to seek bomb shelters. April is therefore desperate to leave Ukraine as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>His desperation is shared by other Namibian students who are also stranded in war-ridden Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>April said they formed a WhatsApp group to strategise and share safety measures. However, despite their desperation, leaving Ukraine at this point might be challenging as travel is restricted.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe definitely do not feel safe because of the escalating tensions. However, we are really trying to keep calm, strategise and contact people back home. We are trying to stay calm and see what we can do in order to move forward, but travel is restricted now,\u201d April added.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In a press statement released on Thursday, the Namibian government stated that efforts have been made to consult stakeholders, such as the Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF), to assist and ensure the safe return of Namibians who are stuck in Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>April fears that the likelihood of that happening any time soon is very slim. Nonetheless, he chooses to have faith that NSFAF will eventually be able to assist the Namibian students studying in Ukraine. However, there are still uncertainties over how and when that will happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are never really sure, even if they help us, will it be adequate?
